Answer:
[tex]E=30.78\ J[/tex]
Explanation:
The force constant of the spring, k = 76 N/m
The extension in the spring, x = 0.9 m
We need to find the energy is stored in the extended spring. The energy stored in the spring is given by :
[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 76\times (0.9)^2\\\\E=30.78\ J[/tex]
So, 30.78 J of energy is stored in the spring.
