Physics

A vertical spring with k = 490 N/m is standing on theground. You are holding a 5.8 kg block just above the spring, notquite touching it.

(a) How far does the spring compress if you let go of the blocksuddenly?
m

(b) How far does the spring compress if you slowly lower the blockto the point where you can remove your hand without disturbingit?
