The energy stored in a spring that is stretched or compressed is given by the formula:

E=\frac{1}{2} k x^2

where E is the stored energy, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

\frac {1}{2} k x^2=100

The work done in stretching of spring,

W =\frac{1}{2} k\left(x_2^2-x_1^2\right)

       \\ =\frac{1}{2} k\left((2 x)^2-x^2\right) \\ =3 \times\left(\frac{1}{2} k x^2\right) \\ =3 \times 100 \\\ =300 \mathrm{~J}

The stored energy will be increased by the amount of work done.
