Hi,

I may be wrong and correct me if i am. Work is the force applied over a distance: F x d.

So to calculate the work of a spiral spring it would be the spring coefficient (usually denoted as "k") times the distance. But you have to remember that the spring force is kxd, so you have to integrate the force over the distance, which will yield the following equation: work is equal to 1/2 the spring constant times the distance squared.

W=(1/2) k d2
