A man weighing $60\  kg$ stands on the horizontal platform of a spring balance. The platform starts executing simple harmonic motion of amplitude $0.1\  m$ and frequency $\frac{2}{\pi } Hz$. Which of the following staements is correct

818-381

  • A

    The spring balance reads the weight of man as $60\  kg$

  • B

    The spring balance reading fluctuates between $60\  kg$. and $70\  kg$

  • C

    The spring balance reading fluctuates between $50\  kg$ and $60\  kg$

  • D

    The spring balance reading fluctuates between $50\  kg$ and $70\  kg$

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.
