for perfect no slack there is no speed 
as at vertically upwards all the forces are downwards so for a second thee will be slack in the string but after that it tightens
 
we can do it by work energy therom
 total potential energy=total kinetic energy
            m g h    =1\2 mv²
             v  =√2gh
!            v =√ 20 ×2
             v = 2√10 m /s²
