A Hooke's law obeying spring has a displacement xx when it is on a flat, horizontal frictionless surface and a force FF is pulling on one end with the other end fixed to a wall. By what factor does xx increase or decrease if the spring is then cut in half, and the same force FF is applied to one end of the halved spring with the other end still attached to a wall?
