Conservation of Energy Q2: Please answer each part step by step and explain each step (even if minor)  in detail please.

Problem 2: You have a spring with a spring constant 3240 N/m.
Part (a) If you want to store 255 J of energy in this spring, should you compress it or stretch it?
MultipleChoice :
1) You must stretch it.
2) Either can be done.
3) You must compress it.
4) Energy cannot be stored in a spring.
Part (b) How far, in centimeters, would you have to compress this spring to store this energy?
Numeric : A numeric value is expected and not an expression.
Ax =
