Wait, what does D represent?

Thing is, like I said before, this came up on my quiz. My teacher firmly believes that everything but the gravitational energy is canceled out, since if you were to look at it from a mathematical view of point, the height would end up maximum. Though your reasoning makes perfect sense. I'll have...

But then there's the argument that, for a system to reach its maximum height, all the energy must be concentrated as gravitational potential energy. In order to do that, both kinetic and elastic energy must equal zero, according to the law of conservation of energy; hence Ee2 is canceled out...

So I got this question on a physics quiz: "You have have two masses, M1 and M2, weighing 1.00 kg and 2.00 kg respectively. You have an ideal, massless spring (spring constant = 40.0 N/m) set up vertically from the ground with a massless platform attached to its free end on top. The two masses...
