Question: Problem 2 : Use MATLAB to solve the below problem A spring whose natural length is 2 0 cm exerts a force of 6 0

Problem 2: Use MATLAB to solve the below problem
A spring whose natural length is 20 cm exerts a force of 60 N when stretched to a length of R cm.(where R is a random integer between 10 and 30 cm)
(a) Find the spring constant (in newtons/meter).
(b) Find the work that is done in stretching the spring 7 cm beyond its natural length.
(c) Find the work done in stretching the spring from a length of 22 cm to a length of 25 cm.
Display your answers on the workspace as per the following example
>> The spring constant is equal to XXX N/m
Hint:
use F(x)=k.x , where F(x) is the spring force, k is the spring constant (N/m), and x is the distance (elongation)
use W=_a^bF(x).dx, where W is the work done in stretching the spring, and a,b are the spring initial and final elongations respectively.
