A spring form a car suspension has a spring constant of 4.5 × 104 N m-1. How much
energy must be transferred to the spring to compress it from its natural length of 0.32 m
to a length of 0.23 m?

By Hooke's law, the elastic energy stored in a stretched/compressed spring is kx2/2 where k and x are the spring constant and amount of compression/stretch respectively.
Therefore from 0.32 m to 0.23 m, compression = 0.09 m
So, energy transferred is:
(4.5 × 104 × 0.092)/2 = 364.5 J
