The platform P, shown in Fig. has negligible mass and is tied down so that the 0.4 m long cords keep a 1m 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, determine the maximum height h the block rises in the air, measured from the ground.
