Answer:
45.6 cm
Explanation:
Let x (m) be the length that the spring is compressed. We know that when we drop the mass from 4.84 m above and compress the springi, ts gravitational energy shall be converted to spring potential energy due to the law of energy conservation
where h = 4.84 + x is the distance from the dropping point the the compressed point, and k = 24N/cm = 2400N/m is the spring constant, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration constant. And m = 4.8 kg is the object mass.
or 45.6 cm
