A spring has a spring constant of 1327 N/m. You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then drop a 1.9 kg book onto it from a height of 0.7 m above the top of the spring. Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed. Express your answer with the appropriate mks units.

Question

For this answer i got 0.1593 m. but it was incorrect. not sure where I went wrong woth the spring force formula 

O Part 1: Book dropped on a spring
A spring has a spring constant of 1327 N/m. You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then drop a 1.9 kg book onto it from a height of 0.7 m above the top of the spring. Find the maximum
distance the spring will be compressed. Express your answer with the appropriate mks units.
O Part 2: Block sliding up a hill
A 19 kg block slides up a hill to a height of 5.4 m. If 279 J of thermal energy are generated, how fast was the block going at the bottom of the hill?
