Question: 7 9 . N A jack - in - the - box with a box of mass ( M ) and clown of

79. N A jack-in-the-box with a box of mass \( M \) and clown of mass \( m=200.0\mathrm{~g}\) rests on a horizontal table (Fig. P8.50). The clown is attached to the box by means of a lightweight, vertical spring with force constant \( k=1.00\times 10^{2}\mathrm{~N}/\mathrm{m}\). Zara pushes down on the clown with an additional force of 4 mg , further compressing the spring. When Zara removes her hand, the clown jumps upward, and the spring lifts the box off the table. What is the maximum value for the mass \( M \) of the box for this action to occur?
