A weightless spring of force constant 2.50 N/cm is 15.0 cm long when nothing is attached to it. It is now used to pull horizontally on a 12.5 kg box on a smooth horizontal floor

You observe that the box starts from rest and moves 96.0 cm during the first 1.60 s of its motion. How long is the spring during this motion?


18.8 cm
