In a mass spectrometer used for measuring the masses of ions, the ions are initially accelerated by an electric potential \(V\) and then made to describe semi-circular paths of radius \(R\) using a magnetic field \(B\). If \(V\) and \(B\) are kept constant, the ratio of \(\left(\frac{\text{Charge on the ion}}{\text{Mass of the ion}} \right)\) will be proportional to:
1. \(\frac{1}{R}\)
2. \(\frac{1}{R^2}\)
3. \(R^2\)
4. \(R\)

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?
