Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 11P
Develop, debug, and test a program in either a high-level language or a macro language of your choice to compute the velocity of the falling parachutist as outlined in Example 1.2. Design the program so that it allows the user to input values for the drag coefficient and mass. Test the program by duplicating the results from Example 1.2. Repeat the computation but employ step sizes of 1 and 0.5 s. Compare your results with the analytical solution obtained previously in Example 1.1. Does a smaller step size make the results better or worse? Explain your results.

5.17 and look at the two attached images
Use bisection to determine the drag coefficient needed so that an 80-kg parachutist has a velocity of 36 m/s after 4 s of free fall. Note: The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 . Start with initial guesses of xl = 0.1 and xu = 0.2 and iterate until the approximate relative error falls below 2%.

- Can you help me code the algorithm into MATLAB? The delta zero, delta one and so forth are equal to the determinats of a 3x3 matrix made of the three vectors.arrow_forwardThe center of mass for a human body can be determined by a segmental method. Using cadavers, it is possible to determine the mass of individual body segments (as a proportion of total body mass) and the center of mass for each segment (often expressed as a distance from one end of the segment). Finding the overall body center of mass can be a complex calculation, involving more than 10 body segments. Below, we will look at a simplified model that uses just six segments: head, trunk, two arms, and two legs. Search y X As a percentage of total body mass, the head is 10%, the two arms are 10%, the trunk is 56%, and the two legs are 24%. The center of mass for each segment is given as an (x,y) coordinate, both units in cm: head = (0, 165), arms = (0, 115), trunk = (0, 95), and legs = (0, 35). Assume the body mass for the individual is 88 kg and their total height is 180 cm. Determine they and y coord 99+ H of massarrow_forwardProblem 6.5arrow_forward
- Here, there is a human powered submarine. The length of the submarine is 4.85 m and the hope is it can travel fully submerged through water at 0.440 m/s. The water it is being tested in is freshwater at a Temperature of 15 degrees celcius. The submarine model is built on a 1/5 scale and is built in a wind tunnel. A shield surrounds the drag balance strut so that the aerodynamic drag of the strut itself does not influence the measured drag. Here, the wind in the wind tunnel is at 25°C and at one standard atm pressure. What air speed is needed to run the wind tunnel in order to achieve similarity?arrow_forwardDon't Use Chat GPT Will Upvote And Give Handwritten Solution Pleasearrow_forwardI am trying to find the gross liftoff mass of a 2 stage rocket for different values of n and plot it in MATLAB.

- As4. This is my third time asking this question. Please DO NOT copy and paste someone else's work or some random notes. I need an answer to this question. There is a mass attached to a spring which is fixed against a wall. The spring is compressed and then released. Friction and is neglected. The velocity and displacement of the mass need to be modeled with an equation or set of equations so that various masses and spring constants can be input into Matlab and their motion can be observed. Motion after being released is only important, the spring being compressed is not important. This could be solved with dynamics, Matlab, there are multiple approaches.arrow_forward6.1Complete the code please.arrow_forwardThe 2nd order ODE given below models the vertical fall of on Object under the influence of gravity and air friction md²y acceleration -mg + (1/2 Co A Pair) (dy) ² Forcing due logranty Forcing due to air frictionarrow_forward
