A vertical spring with force constant K ...

A vertical spring with force constant K is fixed on a table. A ball of mass m at a height h above the free upper end of the spring falls vertically on the spring so that the spring is compressed by a distance d. The net work done in the process is:-

A

`mg(h-d)+(1)/(2)Kd^(2)`

B

`mg(h+d)+(1)/(2)Kd^(2)`

C

`mg(h+d)-(1)/(2)Kd^(2)`

D

`mg(h-d)-(1)/(2)Kd^(2)`
