Two children are playing a game in which they try to hit a small box using a spring loaded machine gun, which is fixed rigidly to a table at a height `h` above the top of the box. The spring has spring constant `k` and the box is at a horizontal distance `l` from `O`. The first child compresses the spring a distanc `x_(0)` and find that the marble falls short of box by a horizontal distance `y`. The second child compreses the spring by an extra amount `Deltax` so that marble lands in the box. The value of `Deltax` is

A

`lsqrt((mg)/(hk))`

B

`lsqrt((2mg)/(hk))`

C

`2ysqrt((mg)/(hk))`

D

`ysqrt((mg)/(2hk))`

The childern are trying to shoot a marble into a marble into a small box using a spring loaded gun that fixed on a table and shoots horizontally from the edge of the table. The centre of the box is a horizontal distance 5m from the edge of the table. The first child compresses the spring a distance 2cm and finds that the marble falls short of its target by a horizontal distance 3m . By what distance x should the second child compress the spring to score a direct hit on the box?
