Refrigerator was what is commonly used today. We do dry foods and salt cure but that is not done on a daily basis
Answer:
Part a)
When spring compressed by 2 cm
H = 1.47 m
Part b)
When spring is compressed by 4 cm
H = 5.94 m
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that the spring is compressed and released
so here spring potential energy is converted into gravitational potential energy at its maximum height
So we will have


so we have

Part b)
Similarly when spring is compressed by 4 cm
then we have


so we have

I'm not sure about the magnitude, but the direction of the normal force is upward.
