A mass $m = 1.0\,kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released, the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $500\,N/m.$ What is the amplitude $A$ of the motion, so that the mass $m$ tends to get detached from the pan ? (Take $g = 10\,m/s^2$ ). The spring is stiff enough so that it does not get distorted during the motion.

A

$A\,<\,2.0\,cm$

B

$A\,=\,2.0\,cm$

C

$A\,>\,2.0\,cm$

D

$A\,=\,1.5\,cm$

(JEE MAIN-2013)

Solution

As $F = -kx$

$mg=-kx$

$1\times 10=500\;A$

$A=2\;cm$

for not gettingdistorted $A > 2\;cm$

A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity $\omega,$ in a hortzontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance $x_{0}$ and pushed towards the centre with a velocity $v_{ o }$ at time $t=0 .$ Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters $\omega, x_{0}$ and $v_{ o } .$ [Hint: Start with the equation $x=a \cos (\omega t+\theta)$ and note that the initial velocity is negative.]
