Chapter 15, Problem 15.2OQ
You attach a block to the bottom end of a spring hanging vertically. You slowly let the block move down and find that it hangs at rest with the spring stretched by 15.0 cm. Next, you lilt the block back up to the initial position and release it from rest with the spring unstretched. What maximum distance does it move dawn? (a) 7.5 cm (b) 15.0 cm (c) 30.0 cm (d) 60.0 cm (e) The distance cannot be determined without knowing the mass and spring constant.
