A 1.40 gram rubber-band starts as 90 mm long; 5.1 N stretches it to 150 mm long, but most kids use 18N to pull them to 300 mm long. The rubber-band used this way can launch a 43 gram chalk-board eraser so it travels 3.15 m (x) while it falls 0.92 m  (y). Calculate the rubber-band's elastic PE before launching the eraser.
