A boy stretches a stone against the rubber tape of a catapult or 'gulel' (a device used to detach mangoes from the tree by boys in Indian villages) through a distance of 24 cm before leaving it. The tape returns to its normal position accelerating the stone over the stretched length. The stone leaves the gulel with a speed 2.2 m/s. Assuming that the acceleration is constant while the stone was being pushed by the tape, find its magnitude.
