The following table gives the approximate values of the static coefficient of friction μ for various materials.

Materials

μ

Metal on metal

0.20

Wood on wood

0.35

Metal on wood

0.40

Rubber on concrete

0.70

To start a weight W moving on a horizontal surface, you must push with a force F, where F = μW. Write a MATLAB program that uses the switch structure to compute the force F. The program should accept as input the value of W and the type of materials.
