A basket of negligible weight hangs from a vertical spring with force constant k. (a) A mass m is gently lowered into the basket and the spring is allowed to reach equilibrium. I. e. the mass is not released until the spring is in equilibrium. How far is the spring stretched? (b) This time the mass is dropped into the basket. I. e. the mass is released at the level of the basket causing the basket to oscillate. Find the maximum distance that the spring is stretched. (c) If the mass is dropped into the basket, from a height h above the basket, by how much will the spring stretch at its maximum elongation?
