An ideal spring of negligible mass has a spring (force) constant of 1500 N/m. (a) How far
must the spring be compressed so that 3.50 J of potential energy is stored in the spring?
(b) You then place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then drop a 1.25 kg
book onto the spring from a height of 0.800 m above the top of the uncompressed spring.
How far will the spring be compressed when the book initially comes to rest? (c) Illustrate
