    Not sure what that mass was supposed to do there

    if the spring was compressed 0.1m and has E=1.0 J

    than

    E=F*d/2=k*d*d/2 wich means

    k=2*E/d^2 = 2 * 1J / 0.01m^2 = 200 N/m

    so

    for E=3J we have E=k*d^2/2 = >

    d = sqrt (2*E/k) = sqrt (2*3J/200 N/m) = sqrt (0.03) m = 0.17 m

    this means that the spring has to be compressed an aditional 0.07 m to triple the energy

    (still not sure what that 0.3 kg mass has to do with it)
