In the given figure, a mass $M$ is attached to a horizontal spring which is fixed on one side to a rigid support. The spring constant of the spring is $k$. The mass oscillates on a frictionless surface with time period $T$ and amplitude $A$. When the mass is in equilibrium position, as shown in the figure, another mass $m$ is gently fixed upon it. The new amplitude of oscillation will be

    When a particle of mass $m$ moves on the $x$-axis in a potential of the form $V(x)=\mathrm{kx}^2$ it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is proportional to $\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{k}}}$, as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of $\mathrm{x}=0$ in a way different from $\mathrm{kx}^2$ and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass $\mathrm{m}$ moving on the $x$-axis. Its potential energy is $V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)$ for $|x|$ near the origin and becomes a constant equal to $\mathrm{V}_0$ for $|x| \geq X_0$ (see figure). $Image$

    $(A)$ $E$ $<0$ $(B)$ $E$ $>0$ $(C)$ $\mathrm{V}_0 > \mathrm{E}>0$ $(D)$ $E > V_0$

    $2.$ For periodic motion of small amplitude $\mathrm{A}$, the time period $\mathrm{T}$ of this particle is proportional to

    $(A)$ $\mathrm{A} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\alpha}}$ $(B)$ $\frac{1}{\mathrm{~A}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\alpha}}$ $(C)$ $\mathrm{A} \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{m}}}$ $(D)$ $\mathrm{A} \sqrt{\frac{\alpha}{\mathrm{m}}}$

    $(A)$ proportional to $\mathrm{V}_0$

    $(B)$ proportional to $\frac{\mathrm{V}_0}{\mathrm{mX}_0}$

    $(C)$ proportional to $\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{V}_0}{\mathrm{mX}_0}}$

    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 $g = 10 m/s^2$).
