Answer 4

Think of what you'd expect a normal, not permanently distorted, spring to look like first.

F = -k x

Force and displacement are linearly related to one another.

When a spring is permanently distorted, the spring is unable to respond linearly to force. Or, force and displacement are related non-linearly to one another.
