Answer:
The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of block = 0.221 kg
Spring constant k = 5365 N/m
Distance x = 0.097 m
We need to calculate the height
Using stored energy in spring
...(I)
Using gravitational potential energy
....(II)
Using energy of conservation
Where, k = spring constant
m = mass of the block
x = distance
g = acceleration due to gravity
Put the value in the equation
Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.
