Here’s my work to your question. I used Newton’s Second Law and a kinematics equation to arrive at the answer.
What is the mechanical advantage of a hockey stick that is gripped at point D and hits the puck at point A?

Answer:
v = 79.2 m/s
Solution:
As per the question:
Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg
Angle,
Coefficient of kinetic friction,
Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg
Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m
Now,
The tension in the string is given by:
(1)
Also
T = m(g + a)
Thus eqn (1) can be written as:
Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:
where
u = initial velocity = 0
Thus
