The final potential energy mg h + x sin θ , is got as follows:
Ø Initially the mass climbs a height (h).
Ø Further, as the momentum of the mass compressed the spring, the mass gains further
height, which is sinθ times the spring compression (x), as shown in [Fig 2.8]
[Fig 2.8: compression of the spring (x) due to momentum of the mass]
Simplifying equation (2.12) we get:

H = μ L + h + x sinθ + kx - - - - (2.13)

For ease of simplification, let us assume to be C and (H − μL − h = C )

Rearranging the expression (2.13) and applying the assumption, we get:
