The frequency of oscillation of a mass suspended by a spring

$v=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$\therefore v \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}$

$\therefore \quad\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{m_{1}}{m_{1}}}=\sqrt{4}=2$

$\therefore \quad v_{2}=2 v\left[\because v_{1}=v\right]$

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