Spring constant of an elastic material is the force applied per unit extension.
Let's say you compress the spring. Work (mechanical energy) is required to compress the spring; this energy is stored in the spring and can be recovered (converted to another type of energy) when the spring returns to its normal position.
a spring possesses elastic potential energy when compressed or stretched.
The elastic potential energy (EEp) of the spring with displacement x from its original length is given by: EEp = 1/2 kx2 (can be proved using integration) where k is the spring constant of the spring. So, if the displacement of the mass is doubled, the elastic EEp stored will increase by 22, that is by 4.
A spring can store elastic potential energy by someone/something squeezing or pulling the spring

Elastic potential energy

Elastic energy, for example, a stretched spring.
Elastic energy is really potential energy that is derived from the stretching of an item such as a spring. The energy potential is based on the force used stretch the spring and the distance the spring is stretched.
Elastic potential energy
Elastic potential energy refers to the potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object. An example of this is a spring, which springs back before it has gained elastic potential energy. After a spring gains elastic potential energy, it will be deformed.
Elastic energy is also called Elastic Potential energy. It is the potential energy stored as a result of a deformation of an elastic object such as a spring. According to Hooke's law the force required to stretch the spring will be directly proportional to the amount of stretch.
