Answer:
The value of the maximum distance the spring will be compressed
x = 0.143 m= 14.3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Mass m = 1.5 kg
h = 0.9 m
k = 1500
Since the book is released from a height h = 0.9 m above the top of the spring. so the total distance
y = h + x
Now in that case for the spring
By rearranging the above equation we get
Put all the values in above equation we get
By solving the above equation we get
x = 0.143 m= 14.3 cm
This is the value of the maximum distance the spring will be compressed.
