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 dsitance d. The net work done in the process is:

A

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

B

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

C

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

D

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

    Figure 14.26 (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure 14.26 (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. 14.26(b) is stretched by the same force F. What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases ?

    Figure shows a smooth track, a part of which is a circle of radius R. As block of mass m is pushed against a spring of spring constant k fixed at the left end and is then released. Find the initial compression of the spring so that the block presses the track with a force mg when it reaches the point P, where the radius of the track is horizontal.
