9.(BD) If the height of the pan at an instant is l and the boy transfers a small mass m of the sand into it, he performs a work = mg

This work done increases the gravitational potential energy of the sand mass which loses a part of it in compressing the
spring.
Therefore, total work done by the boy will be finally found as gravitational potential energy of the sand plus the elastic
potential energy of the spring.
