    Solution

    The potential energy stored in a stretched or compressed spring follows Hooke’s Law: U = 1/2 kx² Here, k is the spring constant and x is the displacement from the natural length. This energy is due to the work done in stretching or compressing the spring. So, correct expression is 1/2 kx².
