As shown in the figure,there is a spring-block system. $A$ block of mass $500\,g$ is pressed against a horizontal spring fixed at one end to compress the spring by $5.0\,cm$. The spring constant is $500\,N/m$. When released,calculate the horizontal distance from the edge of the table where it will hit the ground $4\,m$ below the spring. $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$
