What is the maximum height h that the ball reaches above the equilibrium point? A student pushes a baseball of m = 0.19 kg down onto the top of a vertical spring that has its lower end fixed to a table compressing the spring a distance of d = 0.16 meters. The spring constant of the spring is k = 650 N/m. Let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the position of the baseball in the compressed spring.
