A mass of 2.0 kg2.0 \mathrm{~kg}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/m200 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}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/s2g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2g=10 m/s2 ).
