2\,\text{kg}

block starts from rest at the top of a smooth incline of height

1.0\,\text{m}

and slides down to strike a horizontal spring of constant

800\,\text{N\,m}^{-1}

. Neglecting friction, the maximum compression produced in the spring is closest to a)

0.31\,\text{m}

0.45\,\text{m}

0.22\,\text{m}

0.16\,\text{m}
