The $30-$ lb block $A$ is placed on top of two nested springs $B$ and $C$ and then pushed down to the position shown. If it is then released, determine the maximum height $h$ to which it will rise.

A block of mass m = 1.70 kg is dropped from height h = 35.0 cm onto a spring of spring constant k = 2180 N/m (see the figure). Find the maximum distance the spring is compressed.
