Last time now, with d = 4.05 m. You start the block on the track at rest, somewhere to the left of x = 0. You then release the block from rest and let it slide down. What is the maximum value of x (that is, what is the closest to the origin) from which you can release the block from rest and have it leave the track at x = 0 and go into freefall? -1.44 m -2.08 m -1.76 m -2.03 m
