The drawing shows a hydraulic chamber with a spring (spring
constant = 1760 N/m) attached to the input piston and a rock of
mass 42.0 kg resting on the output plunger. The piston and plunger
are nearly at the same height, and each has a negligible mass. By
how much is the spring compressed from its unstrained position?
