Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

Hi, I am in phyiscs one and they have the problem :When you stand on a trampoline, the surface depresses below equilibrium, and the surface pushes up on you, as the data for a real trampoline in (Figure 1) show. The linear variation of the force as a function of distance means that we can model the restoring force as that of a spring. A 72 kg gymnast jumps on the trampoline. At the lowest point of his motion, he is 0.80 m below equilibrium. If we assume that all of the energy stored in the trampoline goes into his motion, how high above this lowest point will he rise? Please break down this problem in a simple way so I can understand for the steps. Thank you!
