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 ).
Options
- A10.0 ~cm
- Bany value less than 12.0 ~cm
- C4.0 ~cm
- D8.0 ~cm
Correct answer
A. 10.0 ~cm
