What is the effect of the force on the spring,mass system?
Please Find the problem in attachments.

So what do you think?
Can you describe in words what will happen?
Do you know the relevant equations?

I dont know the exact efftect the force causes but i think body will oscillate and spring acts like a thread as in simple pendulum concept.
The force applied is not normal or perpendicular to the spring property directions so it me act like a simple thread or even the spring may undergo similar concept like cantilever beam. just i am sharing the thoughts.

I think i may be right upto 80% but not sure. Is it right?

I'd say you are on the right track.

If the spring is capable of resisting the sideways force, you can model it as a cantilever beam. If not, model it as a thread.
