Concept explainers
The Eco-Marathon is an annual competition sponsored by Shell Oil, in which participants build special vehicles to achieve the highest possible fuel efficiency. The Eco-Marathon is held around the world with events in the United Kingdom, Finland, France, Holland, Japan, and the United States.
A world record was set in the Eco-Marathon by a French team in 2003 called Microjoule with a performance of 10,705 miles per gallon. The Microjoule runs on ethanol. Write a MAT LAB program to determine how far the Microjoule will travel in kilometers given a user-specified amount of ethanol, provided in units of grams. For your test case, you may assume that the user provides 100 grams of ethanol. The specific gravity of ethanol is 0. 789.
