Cart 2
When a certain spring is at its equilibrium length, it has a length of 14.6 cm
(assume the weight of the spring is small enough that it has the same
equilibrium length whether it is horizontal or vertical). When it hangs with
Cart 2 suspended from it (as shown in Figure 1 above) it has a length of
26.3 cm.

René
CART 1
Now Rene places Cart 2 on Cart 1. He ties Cart 2 to one end of the same
spring, and the other end is tied to a pole that is firmly attached to Cart 1,
as shown in Figure 2 above. Assume Cart 2 can roll with negligible
friction. Rene pushes Cart 1 with a horizontal acceleration of 3.7 to the
left. What is the length of the spring (in centimeters) now?
