A book is placed on a horizontal wooden plane that is undergoing simple harmonic
motion with an amplitude of 1.0 m. The coefficiet of friction btween the book and
the horizontal wooden plane is given by μ = 0.5. Determine the frequebcy of the
horizontal wooden platform when the book is about to slip from the horizontal
wooden plane.

Welcome to Physics Forums.

You are expected to show some effort when asking for help. So, what are your thoughts?
 
i have no idea what equation that i must to use.
1st freq = omega/2pi
vmax=omega*Amplitude

what about A*cos(ω t)
 
What can you say about the force acting on the book when it is about to slip?
