Please solve with MATLAB. Please wright code in a code-like format.
Vibrations in mechanical structures can be modeled using systems of springs and blocks. Consider the three mass system below. The length of each unstretched spring is L and the width of each block is W. The total length of the system is L_T which includes the stretched length of each spring, (i.e. The length of the first stretched spring is L + X_1 etc.) Determine the equilibrium position by solving the system of linear equations below for the x values. k_1 = 1 N/m, k_2 = 2 N/m, k_3 = 3 N/m, k_4 = 4 N/m, W = 0.1m, L = 0.5m, L_T = 4m x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = L_T - 4L - 3W k_1x_1 = k_2x_2 k_2x_2 = k_3x_3 k_3x_3 = k_4x_4
