Let the natural length be ll

Then we can write

6=10l12lkxdx6=\int_{10-l}^{12-l}kx\hspace{1mm}dx

6=[12kx2]10l12l6= \bigg[\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\bigg]_{10-l}^{12-l}

6=12k[(12l)2(10l)2]Equation 16= \dfrac{1}{2}k\bigg[\left( 12-l\right)^2-\left( 10-l\right)^2\bigg]\rightarrow\text{\color{#c34632}Equation 1}
