For block $A$ to move in $SHM.$
$\mathrm{mg}-\mathrm{N}=\mathrm{m} \omega^{2} \mathrm{x}$
where $x$ is the distance from mean position
For block to leave contact $\mathrm{N}=0$
$\Rightarrow m g=m \omega^{2} x \Rightarrow x=\frac{g}{\omega^{2}}$

- 1A point mass is subjected to two simultaneous sinusoidal displacements in x-direction, $x_1(t)=A \sin \omega t $ and $ x_2(t)=A \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{2 \pi}{3}\right)$. Adding a third sinusoidal displacement $x_3(t)=B \sin (\omega t+\phi)$ brings the mass to a complete rest. The values of $B$ and $\phi$ areView Solution
- 2lfa simple pendulum has significant amplitude (up to a factor of $1/e$ of original) only in the period between $t = 0\ s$ to $t = \tau \ s$, then $\tau$ may be called the average life of the pendulum. When the spherical bob of the pendulum suffers a retardation ( due to viscous drag) proportional to its velocity with $b$ as the constant of proportionality, the average life time of the pendulum is (assuming damping is small) in secondsView Solution
