A spring-loaded door stopper is designed to absorb energy to prevent the door from hitting the wall. It has a spring constant of 250.0 N/m. To prevent damage from a particularly heavy door, the stopper needs to absorb 75.0 J of energy. How far will the spring in the stopper compress under this impact?
