Two massless springs with different spring constants k₁= 100 N/m and k₂ = 10 N/m are aligned vertically, as shown in figure 1. A block of mass m = 0.12 kg is placed on the bottom spring. The distance between the top of the box and the top spring is h = 0.35 m. You compress the bottom spring Ay = 0.3 m from its equilibrium position (figure 2). When you let go, the box flies up (figure 3) and compresses the top spring (figure 4). Treat the upward direction (↑) as positive, such that the compression of the top spring is a positive displacement. What is the maximum compression of the top spring due to the flying box?
