Explanation / Answer

here,

compression , x = 0.46 cm = 0.0046 m

a)

let the spring constant be k

potential energy , PE = 0.5 * k * x^2

0.001 = 0.5 * k * 0.0046^2

k = 94.5 N/m

the spring constant is 94.5 N/m or 0.0945 KN/m

b)

let the compression be x

potential energy = 0.008 J

0.5 * k * x^2 = 0.008

0.5 * 94.5 * x^2 = 0.008

x = 0.0013 m = 0.13 cm

the compression in the spring is 0.13 cm
