[AMBER] Help in COM pulling

Dear Amber Users,
I have to pull the ligand from protein in z-direction to record the force
in each step. I have tried the following restraint code.
I Need suggestion to define the constant velocity code.

The distance between COM of protein and COM of ligand in the equilibrated
structure is 8.138 Angstrom.
And I want to pull the ligand to 30 Angstrom from its initial position,

How to define the r1, r2, r3 and r4 distance variables?

The restraint file is as follows.

####
&rst
iat=-1,-1, || to define the group of distance

r1=,
r2=,
r3=,
r4=,
rk2=,
rk3=,

iresid=0,
fxyz=0,0,1, || dierection_of_pulling
outxyz=1, ||details to print
igr1=ligand_atoms,
igr2=protein_atoms,
/


2. I tried the following also,

I have selected one atom closer to COM of protein and another one near to
COM of ligand. Pulled the ligand using the following input&restraint file.
Simulation is running without any error.

&rst
iat=4311,3473,
r2=8.138,
rk2=100,
r2a=33.138,

##########and output file looks like#############
     8.13800 9.23098 -524.62950 0.00000
     8.21800 8.21329 2.25910 -0.30317
########
Why the in force is negative value?
Then How I can correlate with ligand affinity or how strong the ligand
bound with protein?
