Two bodies of masses $1\, kg$ and $4\, kg$ are connected to a vertical spring, as shown in the figure. The smaller mass executes simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $25\, rad/s$, and amplitude $1.6\, cm$ while the bigger mass remains stationary on the ground. The maximum force exerted by the system on the floor is ..... $N$ ( take $g = 10\, ms^{-2}$)

Mass of bigger body $M=4 \mathrm{kg}$

Mass of smaller body $\mathrm{m}=1 \mathrm{kg}$

Smaller mass $(\mathrm{m}=1 \mathrm{kg})$ $executes \,S.H.M \,of$ 

angular frequency $\omega=25$ rad $/ \mathrm{s}$

Amplitude $x=1.6 \mathrm{cm}=1.6 \times 10^{-2}$

As we know,

$\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{K}}}$

$\boldsymbol{\alpha}, \quad \frac{2 \pi}{\omega}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{K}}}$

or, $\quad \frac{1}{25}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\mathrm{K}}}[\because \mathrm{m}=1 \mathrm{kg} ; \omega=25 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}]$

or, $\quad \mathrm{K}=625 \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}$

The maximum force exerted by the system on the floor

$=\mathrm{Mg}+\mathrm{Kx}+\mathrm{mg}$

$=4 \times 10+625 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-2}+1 \times 10$

$=40+10+10$

$=60 N$

    $A$ particle of mass m is constrained to move on $x$ -axis. $A$ force $F$ acts on the particle. $F$ always points toward the position labeled $E$. For example, when the particle is to the left of $E, F$ points to the right. The magnitude of $F$ is a constant $F$ except at point $E$ where it is zero. The system is horizontal. $F$ is the net force acting on the particle. The particle is displaced a distance $A$ towards left from the equilibrium position $E$ and released from rest at $t = 0.$ Find minimum time it will take to reach from $x = - \frac{A}{2}$ to $0$.
