Solution
28) we know the spring force is given by
F = ky
Mg = ky
2 x 9.81 = 450y
y = 0.044 m
29.
Again using the same formula
F = ky
F = 45 x 0.8
F = 36 N

At far point during SHM motion, when a object reach at it extreme position. At that point, the
velocity of the object is zero (because that point it return back) while acceleration is maximum.
Hence (d) is correct.
