A spring with a force constant of 1.19*10^3 N/m is compressed 13.0 cm from its equilibrium position. Find the work done by the force compressing the spring.

Suppose a force of 30 N is required to stretch and hold a spring 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. Assuming the spring obeys Hooke's law, find the spring constant k. How much work is required to stretch the spring 0.3 m from its equilibrium position? How much additional work is required to stretch the spring to 0.2 m if it has already been stretched 0.1 m from its equilibrium?
