Net Force on Mass Attached to Stretched Spring

[abclark]

1. A mass is attached to a stretched spring and hangs motionless. What forces act on the mass? What is the net force?

I think that the forces are gravity and the springs restoring forces, but I am not sure which way the net force is? What is the net force?

Well, if the mass is motionless, that means it's at rest. What does this tell you about the net force?
