A spring is resting vertically on a table. A small box is droppedonto the top of the spring and compresses it. Suppose the springhas a spring constant of 481 N/m and the box has a massof 1.4 kg. The speed of thebox just before it makes contact with the springis 0.50m/s.
(a) Determine the magnitude of the spring's displacement at aninstant when the acceleration of the box is zero.
(b) What is the magnitude of the spring's displacement whenthe spring is fully compressed?
