A ball A with a mass of 3 kg is thrown with a velocity of 4 m/s horizontally at a block B with mass 25 kg that is suspended from ropes. If the coefficient of restitution between the ball and block is e = 0.8, determine the height h that the block reaches before momentarily stopping. HINT: Determine the state of the block immediately after the collision and then use that information to determine the height h.
