Reference no: EM13269707

A rifle fires a 1.20 x 10-2-kg pellet straight upward, because the pellet rests on a compressed spring that is released when the trigger is pulled. The spring has a negligible mass and is compressed by 6.74 x 10-2 m from its unstrained length. The pellet rises to a maximum height of 5.42 m above its position on the compressed spring. Ignoring air resistance, determine the spring constant.
