Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 6ICA
For the following questions, z = 100/810. Write the MATLAB output statement that displays z in the format shown in bold. DO NOT hard-code the values; use the value stored in z to print each one. In each case, the >> by the letter in parentheses shows where your statement is typed. In each case, the command prompt should appear on the line following the printed output.
- a. >>
0.1
- b. >>
0.123
- c. >>
1.235e–001
- d. >>
The value of z is 0.123.
- e. >>
z is 0.123, so 100,000 z is 1.23457E+04.

1. The consequences of a head-on collision of two automobiles can be studied by considering the
impact of the automobile on a barrier, as shown in figure below. Construct a mathematical model (i.e.,
draw the diagram) by considering the masses of the automobile body, engine, transmission, and
suspension and the elasticity of the bumpers, radiator, sheet metal body, driveline, and engine
mounts.
