TS EAMCET 5-Aug-2021 Shift 1 Question Paper

A small block of mass 200 g is placed on a horizontal slab at a height of 2 in above the floor. The block is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring through 10.0 cm. Upon releasing, the block moves horizontally till it leaves the spring. Calculate the horizontal distance covered by the block after leaving the slab and just before hitting the ground. The spring constant is 50 N/m.
(Assume g = 10 m/s2).
