Answer

$E=37mJ$

Work Step by Step

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. Mathematically $E=K.E+P.E$ $E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}Kx^2$ in this case $x=A(amplitude)$and $v=0$ at amplitude so $E=\frac{1}{2}m(0)^2+\frac{1}{2}KA^2$ $E=\frac{1}{2}KA^2$ putting the values $E=\frac{1}{2}(1.3)(2.4)^2$ $E=3.744N.cm$ $E=\frac{3.744}{100}N.m$ $E=0.03744N.m$ $E=0.03744J$ $E=37.44\times10^{-3}J$ After rounded it off and replacing$10^{-3}=mili$,we get $E=37mJ$
