Answer

$A = \frac{(M+m)~g~\mu_s}{k}$

Work Step by Step

We can find the maximum possible acceleration that could be provided by the force of static force on the block of mass $m$. $ma = mg~\mu_s$ $a = g~\mu_s$ The maximum force exerted by the spring occurs when the spring is stretched or compressed to the amplitude $A$. Let $a = g~\mu_s$. $F = (M+m)~a$ $kA = (M+m)~g~\mu_s$ $A = \frac{(M+m)~g~\mu_s}{k}$
