$A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $s$ on a horizontal platform fixed at the top of a vertical spring. The platform is depressed by a distance $h$. The spring constant is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $\frac{2 mg(s-h)}{h^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 mg(s+h)}{h^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg(s-h)}{h}$
  • D
    $\frac{mg(s+h)}{h}$
