In the figure, two identical springs have unstretched lengths of 0.26 m and spring constants of 261 N/m. The springs are attached to a small cube and stretched to a length L of 0.32 m as in Figure A. An external force P pulls the cube a distance D = 0.033 m to the right and holds it there. (See Figure B.) The work done by the external force P in pulling the cube 0.020 m is closest to W =   J        (2 decimal places)
