1.60 kg object is hanging from the end of a vertical spring. The spring constant is 48.0 N/m. The object is pulled 0.200 m downward and released from rest. Complete the table below by calculating the translational kinetic energy, the gravitational potential energy, the elastic potential energy, and the total mechanical energy E for each of the vertical positions indicated. The vertical positions h indicate distances above the point of release, where h = 0.
h (m)

0.200
0.400
ok..i got no problem with the translational kinetic energy, the gravitational potential energy and the total mechanical energy E...but I am confused about the elastic potential energy...i know its PE= 1/2KX^2
but how can i find X
