#Spring Compression

6 public questions tagged with this topic.

A 3kg mass falls from 4m onto a spring (k\=600N/m). What is the maximum compression? (Take g\=10m/s2)

Potential energy mgh=3×10×4=120J. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 120 J. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option A is scientifically correct.
