50 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 30º slope.  The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of the slope, compressing the spring 13.0 cm.  The spring constant is 25 N/m.   When the ice cube is released, what distance (in cm) will it travel up the slope above the release point before reversing direction?  Use g = 10 N/kg.
