A large horizontal surface moves up and down in $SHM$ with an amplitude of $1 \,cm$. If a mass of $10\, kg$ (which is placed on the surface) is to remain continually in contact with it, the maximum frequency of $S.H.M.$ will be ... $Hz$

(c) For body to remain in contact ${a_{\max }} = g$
$\therefore {\omega ^2}A = g$

$\Rightarrow 4{\pi ^2}{n^2}A = g$

$ \Rightarrow {n^2} = \frac{g}{{4{\pi ^2}A}} = \frac{{10}}{{4{{(3.14)}^2}0.01}} = 25$

$ \Rightarrow n = 5\;Hz$

    A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of un-stretched length $4.9 \ m$. The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by $0.2$ $m$ and released from rest at $t =0$. It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency $\omega=\frac{\pi}{3} \ rad / s$.

    Simultaneously at $t=0$, a small pebble is projected with speed $v$ from point $P$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ as shown in the figure. Point $P$ is at a horizontal distance of $10 \ cm$ from $O$. If the pebble hits the block at $t=1 \ s$, the value of $v$ is (take $g =10 \ m / s ^2$ )
