$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is fixed vertically on a table. $A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ onto the free end of the spring,causing the spring to compress by a distance $d$. What is the total work done in this process?

  • A
    $mg(h + d) + \frac{1}{2}kd^2$
  • B
    $mg(h + d) - \frac{1}{2}kd^2$
  • C
    $mg(h - d) + \frac{1}{2}kd^2$
  • D
    $mg(h - d) - \frac{1}{2}kd^2$

$A$ student of mass $M$ is $1.5 \,m$ tall and has her centre of mass $1 \,m$ above the ground when standing straight. She wants to jump up vertically. To do so,she bends her knees so that her centre of mass is lowered by $0.2 \,m$ and then pushes the ground by a constant force $F$. As a result,she jumps up such that the maximum height of her feet is $0.3 \,m$ above the ground. The ratio $F / Mg$ is (in $.5$)
