If a force F (N) is applied to compress a spring, its displacement x (m) can often be modeled by Hookes law: F = kx where k = the spring constant (N/m). The potential energy stored in the spring U (J) can then be computed as U = 1 2 kx2 Five springs are tested and the following data compiled: F, N 14 18 8 9 13 x, m 0.013 0.020 0.009 0.010 0.012 Use MATLAB to store F and x as vectors and then compute vectors of the spring constants and the potential energies. Use the max function to determine the maximum potential energy.
