Answer:

the extension will also double, unless the spring has reached its limit of proportionality because of Hooke's law: The extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided that the limit of proportionality is not exceeded.

Answer:

The extension is directly proportional to the force applied.

ex: if the force is doubled, the extension doubles. This works until the limit of proportionality is exceeded.
