A small block of ice with a mass of 0.12 kg is placed against a horizontal tabletop that is 1.9 m above the floor. The spring has a force constant k = 2940 N/m and is initially compressed 0.045 m. The spring is released, and the block slides along the table, goes off the edge, and travels to the floor. If there is negligible friction between the ice and the table, where does the ice land relative from the table?
