A vertical spring with force constant $k$ is fixed on a table. A ball of mass $m$ at a height $h$ above the free upper end of the spring falls vertically on the spring so that the spring is compressed by a distance $d.$ The net work done in the process is

$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on $a$ wedge of mass $M$ as shown, which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless . The spring attached to the other end of wedge has force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down, then  Maximum velocity of $M$ is:

Two springs have their force constant as ${k_1}$ and ${k_2}({k_1} > {k_2})$. When they are stretched by the same force

A block of mass $2\,\,kg$ is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure $(\mu  = 0.2)$ so that it just touches the spring. The block is allowed to move downwards. The spring will be compressed to a maximum of
