thanks for your help, but i still can't understand this, i'll have to ask my instructor.

(sqaure root of 35j divided by 41 N/m) meters?

i just want an answer in meters.

i don't know whAt to do plaese show me exactly how to solve this problem and all the steps i am so lost

I don't know how to. is 82 N/m the same as 82 J?would I get 35J divided by 41 N/m = x^2? then x = square root of 35J divided by 41 N/m?

yes. should the equation look like this? 35J = 1/2 (82 N/m) x^2

Here is a very basic question that I need help with. Homework Statement A spring has a spring constant (k) of 82 N/m. How far must the spring be compressed to store 35J of potential energy? Homework Equations I think it is: E = 1/2 kx^2 The Attempt at a Solution I don't...
