A spiral spring of sufficient stiffness is hanging vertically from the ceiling. Initially, it is in its natural length. A body of mass m is attached to its lower end and is gradually lowered from this position, till it attains equilibrium. This stretches the spring by a length d. If the same body, attached to the same spring in the same initial position, is allowed to fall suddenly, what would be the maximum elongation of the spring in this case ?
(Neglect mass of the spring.)
