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?
