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 \(Q\) will be:

         
1. \(kA\)
2. \(\frac{kA}{2}\)
3. zero
4. \(\mu_s mg\)
