It's a negative value because the negative sign on the spring's force means the force exerted opposes the spring's displacement

Explanation:

Hooke's law :

According to the Hooke's law, The force is the directly proportional to the displacement of the string.

On the other hand,

In a simple harmonic motion, The restoring force is directly proportional to the displacement and acts in the opposite direction to that of displacement.

The restoring force is defined as,

F\propto -x

F = -kx

Where,

F = restoring force

k = restoring constant

x = displacement

The negative sign shows the force opposes the string's displacement

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The girl will move with constant velocity

Explanation:

If after a certain time t_0 the velocity of the girl is v_0 =gt_0 and the upward force on the girl due to rope is mg ,where g is gravitational acceleration. Then the girl will move down with the constant velocity v_0 .

The girl will move with constant velocity,as explained above.
