Correct answer: 20

  1. Given data
  • Mass of block: m=5 kgm = 5\,\text{kg}m=5kg
  • Amplitude: A=1 mA = 1\,\text{m}A=1m
  • Time period: T=3.14 sT = 3.14\,\text{s}T=3.14s

We need the maximum spring force.

  1. Formula for maximum spring force in SHM

For a spring-block system,

F=−kxF = -kxF=−kx

So the maximum force occurs at maximum displacement x=Ax = Ax=A:

Fmax⁡=kAF_{\max} = kAFmax​=kA

Thus we first find the spring constant kkk.

  1. Use time period formula

For a mass-spring system,

T=2πmkT = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}T=2πkm​​

Rearranging,

k=4π2mT2k = \frac{4\pi^2 m}{T^2}k=T24π2m​

Substitute the values:

k=4π2⋅5(3.14)2k = \frac{4\pi^2 \cdot 5}{(3.14)^2}k=(3.14)24π2⋅5​

Since 3.14≈π3.14 \approx \pi3.14≈π,

T≈πT \approx \piT≈π

So,

k=4π2⋅5π2=20 N/mk = \frac{4\pi^2 \cdot 5}{\pi^2} = 20\,\text{N/m}k=π24π2⋅5​=20N/m

  1. Find maximum force

Fmax⁡=kA=20×1=20 NF_{\max} = kA = 20 \times 1 = 20\,\text{N}Fmax​=kA=20×1=20N

  1. Final answer

20\boxed{20}20​
