The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.
The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so
. Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until 
is
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

Answer:
d. 37 °C
Explanation:
= mass of lump of metal = 250 g
= specific heat of lump of metal = 0.25 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C
= mass of water = 75 g
= specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of water = 20 °C
= mass of calorimeter = 500 g
= specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C
= Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C
= Final equilibrium temperature
Using conservation of heat
Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter
