A very light ideal spring of spring constant (force constant) 2.5 N/cm is 15 cm long when nothing is attached to it. It is now used to pull horizontally on a 12.5-kg box on a perfectly smooth horizontal floor

You observe that the box starts from rest and moves 96 cm during the first 1.6 s of its motion with constant acceleration. How long is the spring during this motion?
