The tension that is contained in this cord when the block is at its lowest is 39.24N
<h3>How to solve for the tension</h3>
Given data
mass = M = 2 kg
unstretched length= 0.5 m
mass of the cord 5 g = 0.005 kg
spring constant = k = 100 N/m
We have to compare with potential energy we have = Mgh = Mgx
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81
comparing with kinetic energy we have = 1/2 ke^2 = 1/2 kx^2
equating both energies
1/2 kx^2 = Mgx
dividing both sides by x gives
1/2 kx = Mg
evaluating further gives
kx = 2Mg = Tension in the cord
therefore tension in the cord = 2Mg
= 2 * 2 * 9.81
tension T = 39.24N

Because sometimes it happens that they discover a dwarf planet
that nobody ever knew about before. When that happens, they
ADD the new one to the list of known dwarf planets, and then the
total number of dwarf planets on the list increases by 1 .
I believe it’s the first one
