a. The direction of the applied force is East/right.
b. Direction of the spring force is West/left, and the magnitude of the force is 100 N.
c. To get a displacement of 0.100 m to the right, a spring constant of 1000 N/m is applied.
d. Displacement is not the same as the length of the spring.
e. To get a displacement of 0.100 m to the left, the applied force of -100 N with direction to
the left and the spring force is 100 N with the direction to the right is applied.
f. When the force applied is 50 N, displacement decreases by a factor of 2. When the force
applied is 25 N, displacement decreases by factor 4. When the force applied is 20 N,
displacement decreases by a factor of 5. When the force applied is 10 N, displacement
decreases by a factor of 10.
g. When the applied force is 200 N, placement is 1.000 m. When the applied force is -0.500
