How to set up this question using Work-Energy Principle?

A crane staitioned on a bridge moves at a constant velocity to the rightThe crane has a bucket tied to the bottom with a stringWhat is the max velocity so that the bucket only travels 4m to the right when the crane comes to a complete stop.

Answer:

not sure this can be donehow long is the pendulum what angle is formed by a 4 m displacementwhat is the vertical displacement for the 4 m horizontal? Relation of work-energy Kenetic energy, work force x distance potential mgh I cannot see a definate relationship could the problem be 4 meter above horizontal?
