The system is released from rest with the spring initially stretched $4$ in $.$ Calculate the velocity of the $228-$lb cylinder after it has dropped $11$ in $.$ Also determine the maximum drop distance of the cylinder. Neglect the mass and friction of the pulleys.

Answers:

After the cylinder has dropped $11$ in$.,$

$v=f\frac{t}{sec}$

The maximum drop distance of the cylinder, $d=$ in$.$
