$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is fixed vertically on a table. $A$ ball of mass $m$ is dropped from a height $h$ onto the free end of the spring,causing the spring to compress by a distance $d$. What is the total work done in this process?

The pulley and spring are massless,and friction is absent everywhere. $A$ $5\, kg$ block is released from rest. Find the speed of the $5\, kg$ block when the $2\, kg$ block leaves contact with the ground. (Take the force constant of the spring $K = 40\, N/m$ and $g = 10\, m/s^2$.)
