1. Consider Hooke's law, which describes the force (F, measured in Newtons) exerted by a spring on an object attached to its free end, and is proportional to the spring's change in length (x, measured in meters) away from its equilibrium. The spring constant k measures the spring's stiffness. F = -kx Use the Problem-Solving Framework and the Symbolic Mathematics capabilities of MATLAB to solve the problem below. The written answers of the problem-solving framework can be added as comments in your script (remember, state the problem, describe inputs and outputs, and your algorithm for solving the problem). Let F= 0.3 N and x = 0.05 m. What is the spring constant of this spring?
