A horizontal plank has a rectangular block placed on it. The plank starts oscillating vertically and simple harmonically with an amplitude of 40 cm. The block just loses contact with the plank when the later is momentarily at rest. Then

1. the period of oscillation is 2π/3

2. the block weighs double its weight when the plank is at one of the positions of momentary at rest.

3. the block weighs 1.5 times its weights on the plank halfway down

4. the block weighs its true weight on the plank when the latter moves fastest
