    Explanation:

    F = spring force required to stretch the spring = 10 N

    x = stretch in the spring = 1 m

    k = spring constant of the spring

    Spring force is given as

    F = k x

    Inserting the values

    10 = k (1)

    k = 10 N/m

    W = work done in stretching the spring

    Work done is given as

    W = (0.5) k x²

    Inserting the values

    W = (0.5) (10) (1) ²

    W = 5 J
