Answer

$10783.7\space J$

Work Step by Step

Here we use the equation $W=\frac{1}{2}Kx^{2}$, where W- Work done by the cord, K-Spring constant, x- stretched distance of the cord. $W=\frac{1}{2}Kx^{2}$ Let's plug known values into this equation. $W=\frac{1}{2}\times 235\space N/m\times (9.58\space m)^{2}$ $W=10783.7\space J$ Work done by the cord = 10783.7 J
