Textbook Question

Chapter 4, Problem 61P

Two large crates, with masses 640 kg and 490 kg, are connected by a stiff, massless spring (k = 8.1 kN/m) and propelled along an essentially frictionless factory floor by a horizontal force applied to the more massive crate, if the spring compresses 5.1 cm. what’s the applied force?
