Interactive LearningWare 10.2 explores the approach taken in problems such as this one. A spring is mounted vertically on the floor. The mass of the spring is negligible. A certain object is placed on the spring to compress it. When the object is pushed further down by just a bit and then released, one up/down oscillation cycle occurs in 0.250 s. However, when the object is pushed down by 5.00×10^–2 m to point P and then released, the object flies entirely off the spring. To what height above point P does the object rise in the absence of air resistance?
