Problem

1.5\,\text{kg}

block is released from rest at a height of

0.50\,\text{m}

above the top end of a vertical spring fixed to the floor. The spring constant is

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

. Assuming no energy loss, calculate the maximum compression produced in the spring. Take

g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}
