Exercise 85

A 1.00-kg block ( M ) is on a flat frictionless surface (Fig.). This block is attached to a spring initially at its relaxed length (spring constant is 50.0 N/m). A light string is attached to the block and runs over a frictionless pulley to a 450-g dangling mass ( m ). If the dangling mass is released from rest, how far does it fall before stopping
