Question: A clever engineer designs a sprong that obeys the force law F x = - q ( x - x e ) 3 , where

A clever engineer designs a "sprong" that obeys the force law Fx=-q(x-xe)3, where xe is the equilibrium position of the end of the sprong and q is the sprong constant. For simplicity, we'll let xe=0m. Then Fx=-qx3.
Part C
A sprong-loaded toy gun shoots a 21 g plastic ball. What is the launch speed if the sprong constant is 4.2104Nm3 and the sprong is compressed 13 cm ? Assume the barrel is frictionless.
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
