A mass on a vertical spring begins its motion at rest at $y = 0\  cm$. It reaches a maximum height of $y = 10\  cm$. The two forces acting on the mass are gravity and the spring force. The graph of its kinetic energy ($KE$) versus position is given below. Net force on the mass varies with $y$ as

Amplitude of $\mathrm{SHM}=5 \mathrm{cm}$

$\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{m} \omega^{2} \mathrm{A}^{2}=4$

$\frac{1}{2} m \omega^{2} A^{2} \times 25=4$

$\mathrm{m} \omega^{2}=\frac{8}{25}$

$F=-m \omega^{2}(y-5)$

$=-\frac{8}{25}(y-5)$

    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.
