To solve this problem, we need to use Hooke's Law. 

Hooke's Law: 

F = -kx

where F = mg
m = mass of the object
g = gravitational force
k = spring constant
x = length of stretch of the spring

Solve for the spring constant, k:

2.0 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = -k*(6.1cm/100cm/m)

k = 321.64 

The stretch of the spring with mass of 2.5 kg is then determined: 

2.5 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = -321.64 *(x)
x = 7.62 cm

d = u \times t \: + \frac{1}{2} \times a \times {t}^{2}
Since initial velocity is zero hence , u = 0

=> d = 1/2 * a * t2

d = 0.5 \times 9.8 \times {4.2}^{2}
on solving we get

d = 86.436 metres


Note ; Here Gravitational Acceleration is take as , g = 9.8 m/s2
