block whose weight is 5 N is held just above a massless vertical spring whose spring constant is 100 N/m; at t=0, the block is released. a) How far below its initial position will the block move? b) Since the block had zero velocity at the top and bottom of its path, there must be a point in between where the block’s acceleration is zero. How far below its initial position is this point?
