A light spring with spring constant

120\,\text{N}\!/\!\text{m}

is currently stretched

0.020\,\text{m}

to the right of its equilibrium length. To make the spring exert a

9.0\,\text{N}

force directed to the left on the attached mass, should the spring be compressed or stretched further, and by how much additional displacement?
