#3.11 m/s^2#

Explanation:

Assuming there is no friction or other forces acting on the box, we can simply apply Newton's 2nd law.
#F = ma#

In this case we know the force (#F#) and the mass (#m#). So we just need to solve for the acceleration (#a#).

#a = F/m#

#a = (86.1 N)/(27.7 kg) = 3.11 m/s^2#
