In the figure,two identical springs have unstretched lengths of 0.25 m and spring constants of 300 N/m.The springs are attached to a small cube and stretched to a length L of 0.36 m as in Figure A.An external force P pulls the cube a distance D = 0.020 m to the right and holds it there.(See Figure B.)The work done by the external force P in pulling the cube 0.020 m is closest to
A) 0.12 J.
B) 0.060 J.
C) 6.0 J.
D) 12 J.
E) 0.80 J.
