1. Spring force is proportional to stretch distance, F=kd. Do you expect doubling the stretch distance double the force?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The spring force is given as:

F = kd

F is the spring force

K is the spring constant

d is the magnitude of the stretch

Since k is a constant, therefore, doubling the stretch distance will double the force.

Both stretch distance and force applied can be said to be directly proportional to one another.
