Question:
An object with mass M = 0.79 kg is dropped onto a spring scale, basically a platform held up by a spring. The mass starts at rest a height h = 0.89 m above the platform.The maximum compression of the spring after the object lands, the distance the platform moves down from its original height, is?y?y= 0.51 m.What is the spring constant of the spring?Give your answer in the units N/m (Newtons per meter) to at least 3 significant digits so that you are not counted off due to rounding. Do not include units with your answer.The mass of the scale (platform and spring) do not need to be considered in this problem.
