Write a general expression for the force that the spring exerts on the mass, in term of k and x. Choose the initial position of the front of the spring to be xi

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

The value is

Explanation:

Generally  the force exerted on the mass by the spring is mathematically represented as

Here the negative sign  shows that the force is acting in the negative x axis

        k is the spring constant

  and   is the distance through which the spring moves the mass which is mathematically evaluated as

=>  

Given that  

this a false

explanation:

what is the question because that is not a question.
