A 1.5 kg crate drops from a height of 2.0 m onto an industrial spring scale whose elastic constant is 1.5 x 105 N/m. When the spring reaches maximum compression, the scale reading is approximately acceleration of gravity g = 10 m/s2. Choose an option: a) 1.5 × 103 Newton b) 15 Newton c)3.0 x 103 N d)2.1 x 103 Newton e) 30 Newton
