Answer:
Explanation:
It depends on how far the spring is compressed.
Let's assume it is an ideal spring following Hooke's Law and that friction is negligible.
Let the amount of compression be "x" meters.
The spring potential energy will be converted to gravity potential energy.
PE = PS
mgh = ½kx²
h = kx²/2mg
h = 25.0x² / (2(0.250)(9.81))
h = 5.096839...x²
h = 5.10x²
this "h" value will be measured from the lowest position or maximum spring compression point.
The height above the uncompressed length of spring would be h - x
