The platform P, shown in Fig. 14-12a, has negligible mass and is tied down so that the 0.4-m-long cords keep a 1-m- long spring compressed 0.6 m when nothing is on the platform. If a 2-kg block is placed on the platform and released from rest after the platform is pushed down 0.1 m, Fig. 14-12b, determine the maximum heighth the block rises in the air, measured from the ground.

Well Explained

The platform P, shown in Fig. 14-12a, has negligible mass and is tied down so that the 0.4-m-long cords keep a 1-m-
long spring compressed 0.6 m when nothing is on the platform. If a 2-kg block is placed on the platform and released
from rest after the platform is pushed down 0.1 m, Fig. 14-12b, determine the maximum height h the block rises in
the air, measured from the ground.
