Answer:
a 
b
Explanation:
Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

substituting values given in the question
=> 
=> 
Generally the workdone in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
Generally the workdone in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as
=>
=>
<span>The lighter object is in orbit around the heaviest, and the Sun is the heaviest object in the Solar System</span>
Missing question: "What is the spring's constant?"
Solution:
The object of mass m=6.89 kg exerts a force on the spring equal to its weight:

When the object is attached to the spring, the displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position is

And by using Hook's law, we can find the constant of the spring:
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
If lamp A burnt out there would still be a wire above it that connects lamp B and C to the power source
