A mass of $2.0\, kg$ is put on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground as shown in the figure. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible.  When pressed slightly and released the mass executes a simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $200\, N/m.$ What should be the minimum amplitude of the motion so that the mass gets detached from the pan (take $g = 10 m/s^2$).

A spring having with a spring constant $1200\; N m ^{-1}$ is mounted on a hortzontal table as shown in Figure A mass of $3 \;kg$ is attached to the free end of the spring. The mass is then pulled sideways to a distance of $2.0 \;cm$ and released 

let us take the position of mass when the spring is unstreched as $x=0,$ and the direction from left to right as the positive direction of $x$ -axis. Give $x$ as a function of time $t$ for the oscillating mass if at the moment we start the stopwatch $(t=0),$ the mass is

In the given figure, a mass $M$ is attached to a horizontal spring which is fixed on one side to a rigid support. The spring constant of the spring is $k$. The mass oscillates on a frictionless surface with time period $T$ and amplitude $A$. When the mass is in equilibrium position, as shown in the figure, another mass $m$ is gently fixed upon it. The new amplitude of oscillation will be
