Question: A 5 1 7 g 5 1 7 , text { g } 5 1 7 g block is released from rest at

A 517g517\,\text{g}517g block is released from rest at height h0h_0h0 above a vertical spring with spring constant k=410N/mk =410\,\text{N/m}k=410N/m and negligible mass. The block sticks to the spring and momentarily stops after compressing the spring 11.6cm11.6\,\text{cm}11.6cm.
(a) How much work is done (a) by the block on the spring and (b) by the spring on the block?
(c) What is the value of h0h_0h0?
(d) If the block were released from height 3h03h_03h0 above the spring, what would be the maximum compression of the spring?.
