For a) You read the given force on the horizontal axis and then go vertically upwards until you reach the curves (straight lines), and then read the distance s. For example, for F=5N: s is approximately equal to 2.5 cm (spring 1), s is approximately equal to 5.5 cm (spring 2).
For b) The same, but in reverse. You start from the given paths on the vertical axis and move horizontally to the right until you reach the straight line. For example, s = 2 cm: F approximately equal to 1.7 N (spring 2), F approximately equal to 4.3 N (spring 1).
Regarding c) One thing that both springs have in common is that they show an approximately linear relationship between force F and extension s. However, one spring is obviously "harder" than the other.
Regarding d) F=10N is a relatively large force compared to the specified range. Which would therefore be better, a "hard" or a "soft" spring?
Thank you, you helped me a lot. You explained it better than a physics teacher.
