Question: Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes ovecr a frictionless pulley. The block of mass m 1 = 4 kg lies on

Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes ovecr a frictionless pulley. The block of mass m1
=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 m2=
3,6 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 m1
and the surface. Provide your answer in meters.
