Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The block of mass 1
=4 kg lies on a horizontal surface and is connected to a spring of force constant k =20 N/m. The system is released from rest when the spring is unstretched. The mass of the second block is 2=
1,3 kg (Take g=9.81 m/s2.)
A) Calculate the distance, h, the hanging block of mass m2 falls before coming to rest, if there is no friction between the block of mass 1
and the surface. Provide your answer in meters.
