A block of mass $m = 0.1\,kg$ is connected to a spring of unknown spring constant $k.$ It is compressed to a distance $x$ from its equilibrium. position and released from rest . After approaching half the distance $(\frac {x}{2})$ from equilibrium position, it hits another block and comes to rest momentarily, while the other block moves with a velocity $3\,ms^{-1}.$ The total initial energy of the spring is ................ $\mathrm{J}$
