To the free end of a spring hanging from a rigid support,a block of mass $m$ is hung and slowly allowed to come to its equilibrium position. Then the stretching in the spring is $d$. If the same block is attached to the same spring and allowed to fall suddenly,the amount of stretching is: (force constant,$k$)

  • A
    $\frac{m g}{k}$
  • B
    $2 d$
  • C
    $\frac{m g}{3 k}$
  • D
    $4 d$
