A piece of cheese with a mass of 1.06kgis placed on a vertical spring of negligible mass and a force constantk= 1700N/mthat is compressed by a distance of 17.1cm.
When the spring is released, how high does the cheese rise from this initial position? (The cheese and the spring are not attached.)
Use 9.81m/s^2for the acceleration due to gravity. Express your answer using two significant figures.
