Question

here is the question:

Mechanics III A person of mass mp is standing in an elevator of mass Mes suspended from the top of a building by a spring with spring constant k. What is the equilibrium extension of the spring? Suppose the elevator is displaced from equilibrium by a small distance. What is the resulting frequency of oscillation? What range of accelerations can the elevator experience without losing contact person? What is the maximum amplitude w the system can oscillate without the tor's losing contact with the person Assuming the amplitude of the osc is maximized, where is the normal acting on the person maximum? minimum? zero?
