A block is suspended from the ceiling by a spring and is free to move vertically in the y direction. You are given that the potential energy as a function of position is U = 7 y2 - 14 y, where y is in units of meter. The block is released from rest at y = 0; if there is no friction, calculate the maximum value of y, that will be reached by the mass. (Your result must contain 2 digits after the decimal, in units of meters, and 1% of error will be tolerated in your answers.)
