A 0.49 kg object is attached to a spring with a spring constant 167 N/m so that the object is allowed to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. The object is released from rest when

the spring is compressed 0.12 m. Find the force on the object.

b) What is the acceleration at this instant?
F=kx=167*.12

but F= ma, solve for a.
