When a $1.0\,kg$ mass hangs attached to a spring of length $50 cm$, the spring stretches by $2 \,cm$. The mass is pulled down until the length of the spring becomes $60\, cm.$ What is the amount of elastic energy stored in the spring in this condition, if $g = 10 m/s^{2}$ ............. $\mathrm{Joule}$

  • A

    $1.5$

  • B
