$A$ block $P$ of mass m is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Another block Q of same mass is kept on $P$ and connected to the wall with the help of a spring of spring constant k as shown in the figure. ${\mu _s}$ is the coefficient of friction between$  P$ and $ Q$. The blocks move together performing SHM of amplitude $A$. The maximum value of the friction force between $P$ and $Q$ is
