Suppose that the Red cart has a mass of 500 grams, and the blue cart has a mass of 250 grams, and they are connected with a spring of spring constant 100 N/m. If the Red cart is held, and the Blue cart is pulled away with a force 11.8 N, what will be the force on the Red cart (write your answer in newtons, magnitude only)
