The plot of spring force vs displacement is shown below.
 
According to the Hooke’s law, the spring force for an extension xm is
Fs = -kxm
The work done by the spring force for the extension xm is
Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected '<mstyle '.

In order to stretch the spring slowly, an external force F equal and opposite to the force Fs has to be applied. So, work done by external force F is
Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected '<mstyle '.
This work done is stored as potential energy of the spring.
Thus, we have
Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected '<mstyle '.

why is force attractive when the separation between body and force increases and potential increases and vice versa? why is force repulsive when separation between body and force increases and potential decreases? if PE/force is negative why attraction and if PE/force is positive why there is repulsion? pls explain and prove the above points with suitable examples.
