Hello
Note: I think the text in parentheses corresponds to another exercise, or this is incomplete, I will solve it with the first part of the problem
the work is the product of a force applied to a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of this force
assuming that the force goes in the same direction of the displacement, that is upwards
W=F*D (work, force,displacement)
the force necessary to move the object will be
Answer:196 Joules

(a) 392 N/m
Hook's law states that:
(1)
where
F is the force exerted on the spring
k is the spring constant
is the stretching/compression of the spring
In this problem:
- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:
- The stretching of the spring is
Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:
(b) 17.5 cm
If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is
And so, the stretch of the spring is
And since the initial lenght of the spring is
The final length will be
