#3,4 Passage You want to hit a small box on the floor with a marble

fired from a spring-loaded gun that is mounted on a table. The

target box is a distance R horizontally from the edge of the table;

see the figure to the right. You compress the spring a distance d,

but the center of the marble falls short by a distance r of the

center of the box. How far should you compress the spring to

score a direct hit (neglect friction)?
