Find angle of descent theta-angle measured from horizontal


A small block having a mass of 0.1 kg is given a horizontal velocity of v1 = 0.4 m/s when r1 = 500mm. It slides along the smooth conical surface. Determine the distance h it must descend for it to reach a speed of v2 = 2 m/s. Also, what is the angle of descent theta, that is, the angle measured from the horizontal to the tangent of the path. The picture has the conical cone having a 30 degree angle.
