(h + .16) m g = 1/2 k x^2 total PE of block relative to where it stops
(h + .16) .82 * 9.8 = .5 * 120 * .16^2 PE released = PE of spring
8.04 h + 1.29 = 1.536
h = (1.536 - 1.29) / 8.04 = .031 m = 3.1 cm

If the bag is motionless, then it's not accelerating up or down.
That fact right there tells you that the net vertical force on it
is zero. So the sum of any upward forces on it is exactly equal
to the downward gravitational force ... the bag's "weight".
If the bag is suspended from a single rope, then the tension
in the rope must be equal to the 100-N weight of the bag.
And if there are four ropes holding it up, then the sum of
the four tensions is 100N. If the ropes have been carefully
adjusted to share the load equally, then the tension is 25N
in each rope.
Because Florida is wet and humid, while California is dry and non-humid. Florida also contains lots of lakes which evaporate to create thunderstorms.
