Two bodies of masses $1\, kg$ and $4\, kg$ are connected to a vertical spring, as shown in the figure. The smaller mass executes simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $25\, rad/s$, and amplitude $1.6\, cm$ while the bigger mass remains stationary on the ground. The maximum force exerted by the system on the floor is ..... $N$ ( take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

In the figure shown, there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$ but the contact between the block $Q$ and lower surface is frictionless. Initially the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$, with spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to right and then released. As the spring - blocks system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$, the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q . P$ is more likely to slip at

The force-deformation equation for a nonlinear spring fixed at one end is $F =4x^{1/ 2}$  , where $F$ is the force (expressed in newtons) applied at the other end and $x$ is the deformation expressed in meters
