Figure 6.27 shows two identical springs. In both cases, a person exerts a force of magnitude F on the right end of the spring. The left end of the spring in Figure 6.27A is attached to a wall, while the left end of the spring in Figure 6.27B is held by another person, who exerts a force of magnitude F to the left. Which statement is true?

(1) The spring in Figure 6.27A is stretched half as much as the spring in Figure 6.27B.

(2) The spring in Figure 6.27A is stretched twice as much as the spring in Figure 6.27B.

(3) The two springs are stretched the same amount.
