Question
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
mg(h + d) $-$ ${1 \over 2}$kd2
mg(h $-$ d) $-$ ${1 \over 2}$kd2
mg(h $-$ d) + ${1 \over 2}$kd2
mg(h + d) + ${1 \over 2}$kd2
