$A$ light elastic spring is placed on a massless platform as shown in the figure. $A$ sand particle of mass $0.1 \ kg$ is dropped onto the spring platform from a height of $0.24 \ m$. The particle sticks to the platform,causing the spring to compress by $0.01 \ m$. From what height should the particle be dropped so that the spring is compressed by $0.04 \ m$ (in $m$)?
