Physics Pre-AP problem, spring potential energy, finding Distance(x) when you have the mass and spring constant only?
An object that has a mass of 3 kg is attached to a spring constant 50 N/m. How far is the equilibrium position of this spring system from the point where the spring exerts no force on the object?
The answer is around 0.6m, so I know the answer, I just need to know how to find it. The formula for spring potential is U = 0.5k(x^2) *U = potential spring, k = spring constant, x = distance* if that helps at all
I would really appreciate help ^^ best answer will most certainly get 10 points, thanks!

1) I want to be the last person to answer this question.
2) Even in my school exams, I attempt tough questions like this at the end. I don't not want to waste my time thinking or over-thinking seriously about the answers which takes sufficient time.
