Total energy in SHM

A mass-spring oscillator in a ambulance siren recording has spring constant \(38\,\text{N m}^{-1}\) and amplitude \(0.1\,\text{m}\). Calculate the total mechanical energy. Use the diagram labels before calculating the requested value. Enter the numerical result and choose the interpretation that matches the wave physics.
