A spring of negligible mass has force constant kkk = 800 N/mN/m. How far must the spring be compressed for 1.50 JJ of potential energy to be stored in it? Express your answer with the appropriate units.   You place the spring vertically with one end on the floor. You then lay a 1.60 kgkg book on top of the spring and release the book from rest. Find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed. Express your answer with the appropriate units.
