Question: A force applied to a spring compresses the spring 13 cm, storing a certain amount of elastic potential energy. Then a larger force is applied

A force applied to a spring compresses the spring 13 cm, storing a certain amount of elastic potential energy. Then a larger force is applied to compress the spring a total of 52 cm. How does the elastic potential energy stored in the spring after it is compressed 52 cm compare to the elastic potential energy stored in the spring after it was compressed 13 cm?
