    (a) The equivalent spring constant is 598.485 N/m

    (b) The work done is 46.926 J

    Explanation:

    From Hooke's law of elasticity

    K (spring constant) = F/e

    F is the range of force exerted = 237 - 0 = 237 N

    e is the extension of bowstring = 0.396 m

    K = F/e = 237/0.396 = 598.485 N/m

    Work done = 1/2 Fe = 1/2 * 237 * 0.396 = 46.926 J
