Chapter 18, Problem 22RQ
Write a MATLAB program that will allow the student to select the grade earned in a course from a menu (with the options of earning an A, B, C, D, or F) that will display the numerical range for the selected grade. The output of the program displayed on the screen should be formatted as shown in the sample output. In your program, you must use a switch statement instead of an if-else if statement. Use the standard 10-point grading scale shown in the previous problem.

Hi I need help to make the line change into a different color, I half of the line to be orange and I need the other half of the line towards the end to be purple as shown in the picture. Also I need there be a box saying Diesel, petrol, diesel best fit, petrol best fit. This part is also shown in the graph.
Please use this code and fix it in MATLAB:
% Sample data for Diesel and Petrol cars
carPosition = linspace(1, 60, 50); % Assumed positions of cars

If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one.

Let the following variables represent the relevant quantities. L = Temperature of the liquid S= Temperature of the surroundings t = Time B = Initial temperature of the liquid (Temperature at t = 0 k = Cooling constant 3. Using the Equation Solver, find the value of k in the equation L = (B - S)e -kt + S.

You question whether or not a key component of the prototype was manufactured with the correct material. There are two way to check for the material properties. The first way is to have a material certification done to confirm the exact material composition. This will take some time. The second method to confirm the material properties is to make an ASTM test sample and test for the material properties. This tensile test was completed on a test sample with an initial diameter of .501” and an initial length of 2”. The Load-Deflection data for this tensile test is below. Use this data to answer the first set of questions on the Final Exam in eLearning. A. Determine the Ultimate Tensile Strength B. Determine the 0.2% Offset Yield Strength C. Determine the value of the Proportional Limit D. Determine the Modulus of Elasticity E. Determine the Strain at Yield F. Calculate %…arrow_forward
