MHT CET 2023 Physics question
A block of mass 'M' rests on a piston executing S.H.M. of period one second. The amplitude of oscillations, so that the mass is separated from the piston, is
(acceleration due to gravity, , )
Answer: (A)
Solution
The block loses contact with the piston when the piston's downward acceleration exceeds g, i.e. when the maximum acceleration of the SHM equals g at the top of its motion (normal force becomes zero). Maximum acceleration with rad/s.
