    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 particle performs $S.H.M.$ of amplitude $A$ with angular frequency $\omega$  along a straight line. Whenit is at a distance  $\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}$ $A$  from mean position, its kinetic energy gets increased by an amount $\frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{A^2}$  due to an impulsive force. Then its new amplitude becomes
