Answer:
A. It is always a positive force
Explanation:
Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.
i.e F = - kx
where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.
The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.

Answer:
One would need to know how far apart the towns are:
T = SA / 40 time it takes for first cyclist to travel S1
T = SB / 60 time it takes for cyclist B to travel distance S2
SA + SB = S the distance between the towns
SB = 60 / 40 SA = 1.5 SA
SA + 1.5 SA = S
S = 2.5 SA where cyclist travels distance SA
The time will depend on the separation of the towns.
