Question

A spring-loaded toy gun is aimed vertically and fired after a spherical projectile of mass 

m = 28.5 g

 is loaded by compressing the spring with force constant 

k = 830 N/m

 a distance of 9.10 cm. As the projectile travels a total distance of 58.4 cm along the barrel of the gun, it experiences a friction force of 2.25 N. What is the height reached by the projectile above its initial location with the spring compressed?
 m
