Jan 26, 2020 at 14:12 comment added garyp This question has nothing to do with the elastic limit. NOTHING. Can we please drop that discussion? Suggestion to the original poster: if you change the first sentence to "ideal spring" this discussion goes away on its own.
Jan 26, 2020 at 13:25 comment added आर्यभट्ट Hooks low hold till elastic limit. And if you say force can be anything then they will be beyond elastic limit, so no law will be applied.
Jan 26, 2020 at 13:21 comment added Sam To pull the spring by distance $x$, you will have to apply a force of $kx$ so long as Hooke's law is still obeyed for that distance $x$.

Jan 26, 2020 at 13:09 comment added Big Brother It is not true that you can only pull with force kx, it can be anything, after all, you are the one who is pulling it.
Jan 26, 2020 at 13:07 comment added Sam When you pull, one end of the spring by a distance $x$, you apply force of $kx$ in one direction. The spring then pulls back with a force $-kx$ (by Newton's Third Law) to keep the spring in equilibrium. What is the confusion here?
