CASE STUDY How Big a Spring?
Imagine the ring in the case study is launched using a spring-loaded gun instead of a Thompson coil. If the gun has a stiff spring with a spring constant of 1000 N/m, how much does the spring need to be compressed in order to propel a 90-g object 120 m up? Comment on the size of the spring. (Ignore air resistance.)

In regards to a lab about Hooke's Law:
Why do you take measurements twice for Δx?
According to Hooke’s law, you should expect to get the equation of line as: y = mx. Explain why you have a non-zero value for b.
Does the mass of spring effect your result? Explain it clearly.
Background information:
Theory:
Part I: Hooke’s law
Whenever a restoring force is created due to displacement of a body from its mean position, the restoring force tries to bring the body back to the original (mean) position. If the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from the mean position, the resulting vibratory motion is called simple harmonic motion. A linear restoring force may be expressed mathematically by the equation
F = -k Δx (1)
where F = mhg which is the force (N), Δx (m) is the displacement from the equilibrium point, and k (N/m) is a proportionality constant which is called ‘Spring Constant’…
A block of mass m = 0.52 kg attached to a spring with force constant 143 N/m is free to move on a frictionless, horizontal surface as in the figure below. The block is released from rest after the spring is stretched a distance A = 0.13 m. Refer to attached Image.
(a) At that instant, find the force on the block.
(b) At that instant, find its acceleration.
Please solve this problem and explain the trigonmetric situation with finding h - i am having trouble visualizing it - please draw an image as well
