Inside a sealed wooden box of mass M there hangs, by a thread of negligible mass, a lead pellet also of mass M. At some point, the thread breaks and the pellet falls freely the entire height of the box. What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the system of box and pellet, while the pellet is falling?
