$A$ block of mass $m$ is released from rest at point $A$ on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$ with the vertical. The block slides down and compresses a spring of spring constant $k$. Find the compression in the spring when the speed of the block is maximum.

  • A
    $\frac{mg\sin \theta}{k}$
  • B
    $\frac{2mg\sin \theta}{k}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg\cos \theta}{k}$
  • D
    $\frac{mg}{k}$
