A block of mass \(m\) initially at rest, is dropped from a height \(h\) onto a spring of force constant \(k.\) If the maximum compression in the spring is \(x,\) then:     
            
1. \(m g h = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}\)
2. \(m g \left(h + x\right) = \frac{1}{2} k x^{2}\)
3. \(m g h = \frac{1}{2} k \left(x + h\right)^{2}\)
4. \(m g \left(h + x \right) = \frac{1}{2} k \left(x + h \right)^{2}\)
