Problem

A spring has a spring constant of 0.25 N cm−10.25\,\text{N\,cm}^{-1}. (i) Express the spring constant in N m−1\text{N\,m}^{-1}. (ii) The spring is stretched by 8 cm8\,\text{cm}. Calculate the energy stored in the spring. (iii) By how much must this spring be stretched so that the energy stored in it becomes 0.80 J0.80\,\text{J}? Show all steps clearly.
