Answer:
The distance measures
Explanation:
According to the problem statement,
The box's width is
There is a gap of length
The first spring's natural length is
The spring constant for the first spring is
The second spring has a natural length of
The second spring's spring constant is
We denote the distance from the center of the box to the left edge as x.
At equilibrium,
The force exerted by the first spring is
while the force from the second spring is
Thus, at equilibrium,
Substituting values gives us
which leads to
resulting in
and finally,
this simplifies to
