Spring Launch Loading

The 40 \(kg\) projectile is loaded into a spring launcher using a string for a game. It is acted upon by a constant force of 212 \(N\) via a cable as shown. The projectile begins at rest at A, with the spring it is attached to compressed by an initial amount 0.134 \(m\). The spring stiffness is \(k =\) 92 \(N/m\). Calculate the velocity of the block when it reaches point B, \(d =\) 0.91 \(m\) away. Assume \(h =\) 1.05 \(m\).
