Which is the correct equation for the force applied by a spring?

Answer:
B. [tex]F = -k*x[/tex]
Explanation:
The force of a spring can be easily calculated using Hooke's law which tells us that the force applied on a spring is equal to the product of the constant of a spring by the compressed or stretched distance of the spring.
That is:
[tex]F = k*x[/tex]
k = spring constant [N/m]
x = distance [m]
