Given below are two statements.
STATEMENT - 1: When a spring is compressed, it has elastic potential energy.
STATEMENT - 2: The magnitude of the potential energy in the compressed spring is given by
\(U=\frac{1}{2}|\boldsymbol{x}|\)
where,
k: spring constant
x: magnitude of the displacement produced by the compressed spring
