It is a combination of the three rules of physics (everyone needs to know them):
Any force is balanced by an equal but opposite force.
A body at rest, with no externally applied forces, tends to stay at rest.
A body in motion, with a constantly applied external force, tends to stay in motion.
Therefore, if you have any force (external) which is applied to a body (initially at rest), which is not equally counter balanced (equal but opposite), then a body which had previously been at rest (inertia), is set into motion (displacement) until such time as the external force ceases or is counter balanced by other forces (friction, equal but opposite, gravity, etc.)
Hope this helps!!!

For a force to exist an interaction between two structures must take place. When a mass displaces one volume of space substance an interaction betwwen the mass structure and the space structure occurs. As a result a moving force is born in the direction of the motion.

Try applying FORCE to a table,that is, try pushing the table.Wat wil happen.It will move.That is , the table will get DISPLACED.It means for any displacement force is required. And do u know,wen u r walking,u r actually pushing the ground behind!

In the instance of springs, force is proportional to
displacement because the equilibrium of the spring
forces the material to approach that equilibrium even
when it is deformed.

It isn't.
Its related to acceleration.
