Answer:
Explanation:
A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.

F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring
k is the spring constant.
negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.
In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that

Inserting this into Hooke's Law

computing it for x,

This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.
You can't see beyond a blind turn, so a mirror would allow you to see around the corner.
Electric potential energy of a dipole is given as


so change in the potential energy is given by


here initially it was parallel to electric field while finally it is perpendicular to the electric field
so we have


so above is the change in potential energy of dipole
The free-body diagram is missing, but I assume the only forces acting on the box are the force F pushing the box, the weight of the object and the normal reaction of the surface.
Since the weight and the normal reaction acts in the vertical (y) direction, the only force acting on the box in the horizontal (x) direction is the horizontal component of the force F, which is given by

And so this is the net force in the x-direction.
