The potential energy stored in a spring is kx2 /2, where k is the spring constant and x is the compression in the spring. The force required to compress the spring is kx. The following table gives the data for five springs:
| Spring | ||||
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Force (N) | 11 | 7 | 8 | 10 | 9 |
Spring constant k (N/m) | 1000 | 800 | 900 | 1200 | 700 |
Use MATLAB to find (a) the compression x in each spring and (b) the potential energy stored in each spring.
