To find the energy stored in the spring, we can use the formula for the potential energy stored in a spring:
Where:
• is the potential energy stored in the spring,
• is the force constant of the spring, and
• is the displacement from the equilibrium position.
Given:
• (force constant of the spring), and
• (displacement from the equilibrium position).
Now, we can plug in the values into the formula:
So, the energy stored in the spring is .
