Find maximum amplitude for safe $SHM$ (block does not topple during $SHM$) of $a$ cubical block of side $'a'$ on a smooth horizontal floor as shown in figure (spring is massless)

A
$\frac{{mg}}{{3K}}$
B
$\frac{{3mg}}{K}$
C
$\frac{{2mg}}{{3K}}$
D
None
Solution

$\tau=0, \quad K x\left(\frac{a}{6}\right)=\frac{N a}{2} \Rightarrow K x \frac{a}{6}=m g \frac{a}{2} \Rightarrow x=\frac{3 m g}{K}$
