The correct answer is: 0.5
Hooke's law is a law of physics that states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, Fs=kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring, and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.
W1=K1x &W2=K2xW2W1=K2K1=K22K2=0.5
