0.30\,\text{kg}

block is released from rest

0.40\,\text{m}

directly above the top of an uncompressed vertical spring with force constant

800\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}

. The block lands squarely on the spring and compresses it. Neglect any nonconservative forces. Calculate the maximum compression of the spring.
