A box is moving in the i direction with a constant acceleration. A mass, suspended from the top of the box by a linear spring (unstretched length of zero), is moving to the right as well and isn't moving with respect to the box (the spring isn't changing in length and θ is constant). The force exerted by the spring on the mass is given by its spring constant k times its extension. For the present case, the spring is extended 5 cm from its rest length, k = 30 N/m and m = 0.15 kg. What is the angle θ equal to, and what is the acceleration of the box? You can solve for this without using the computer
