We are talking about a elastic potential energy. E=1/2*k*x^2,
where k is the spring's constant.
E=1/2*60*0.5^2=7.5 J

According to Hooke's Law, the force required to hold the speing stretched x m beyond its natural length is given by f(x)=ko, where k is the spring constant. Suppose that 2.J of woek is needed to stretch
