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

How do you calculate the work done in extending a spring using hooke's law?
The extension of a spring is in direct proportion with the load added to it as long as this load does not exceed the elastic limit.F = -kxwhereF is the restoring force exerted by the material (in SI units: N);x is the displacement of the end of the spring from its equilibrium position (in SI units: m);k is the force constant (or spring constant) (in SI units: N·m-1 or kgs-2).
