$A$ ball of mass $m_1$ falls from height $h_1$ from rest to strike a spring of force constant $K$,which forces another ball of mass $m_2$ to jump on a horizontal floor at a height $h_2$ below it. Find the horizontal distance at which the ball of mass $m_2$ strikes the floor from the position of the start. [Assume the spring is fixed and the collision is elastic].

  • A
    $[\frac{m_1 h_1 h_2}{m_2}]^{1/2}$
  • B
    $[\frac{4m_1 h_1 h_2}{m_2}]^{1/2}$
  • C
    $[\frac{m_1 h_1^2 h_2}{m_2(h_1+h_2)}]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $[\frac{m_1 h_1 h_2}{m_2}]^{1/2}$
