Solution Summary
It shows how to calculate the spring force constant by droping a ball onto it.
Solution Preview
We can solve this problem using conservation of energy.
Before the ball drops:
Using the final position of the ball as the reference:
The potential energy of the ball is PE = mg(h + x). the kinetic energy is obviously 0.
The potential ...
