Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 5RQ
The specific gravity of gold is 19.3. Write a MATLAB program that will ask the user to input the mass of a cube of solid gold in units of kilograms and display the length of a single side of the cube in units of inches. The output should display a sentence like the one shown that follows, with the length formatted to two decimal places. If the user types a negative number or zero for the mass of the cube, your program should display an error message and terminate.

A bent pipe is attached to a wall with brackets as shown. A
force of F = 180 lb is applied to the end of the tube with
direction indicated by the dimensions in the figure.
Determine the support reactions at the brackets B, C, and
D. Model these brackets as journal bearings (only force
reactions perpendicular to the axis of the tube) and neglect
couple moment reactions. Assume the distance between the
supports at B and C and the tube bends nearby are
negligible such that the support at C is directly above the
support at D and the dimension g gives the distance between
supports B and C. Enter your answers in Cartesian
components.
