    We know that force for a linear spring is equal to F=kx. Since energy is the potential to do work, and the spring is assumed to be perfectly elastic. Work can be written as:

    W = F (integral sign) d x

    Therefore,

    W=k (Δx) ^2 / 2

    W = F Δx / 2

    W = 120 (2.0) / 2

    W = 120
