The force exerted by a mechanical spring system on a weight sliding on a table is found to be well represented by the function F = 412 exp(-2.4 x1.7)[Newtons], where x is measured in meters over the domain [0, 5]. Use Simpson's rule with a step size (h) of 0.5 m to find an approximate value for the work performed by the spring system on the weight for the displacement from [0 to 5] meters.
