Question: A 8 0 3 g block is released from rest at height ho above a vertical spring with spring constant k = 4 4 0

A 803 g block is released from rest at height ho above a vertical spring with spring constant k =440 N/m and negligible mass. The blocksticks to the spring and momentarily stops after compressing the spring 17.9 cm. 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 ho?(d) If the block were released from height 5ho above the spring, what would be the maximum compression of the spring?
