- a. With e single MATLAB statement create a new N element vector named Vol, in which each element is me volume [cc] of the object otiose diameter, height, and specific gravity are in the same relative positions in Diam, Ht, and SG.
- b. With a single MATLAB statement create a new N element vector named Mass, in which each element is the mass [Kg] of the object whose parameters are m the same relative positions Diam, Ht, SG, and Vol.
- c. Determine the average volume of all cones and pace the result in AvgCone.
- d. Determine both the heaviest and lightest cone, placing the results HeavyCone and LightCone.
- e. Determine the height of the heaviest cone end place the result HeavyHt. Note that the heaviest cone is not necessarily the largest HINT. Use doc to learn more about the max function.

Please solve question 16-109 below this in the
follwoing way:
• Please include a kinamatic diagram (one for
velocity and one for acceleration).
• Please DO NOT solve this using velocity
analysis (cartesian vector analysis). I would
like it to be solved using scalar method. We
dont use 3D in this course. We only use scalar
analysis for the relative velocity equation
(writing the x and y components of the
equation and solving the equations for the
unknowns). I have attached a sample question
with solution in order to get an idea on how to
use the scalar method to solve my question. I
would like question 16-109 to be solved in a
similar way. Thank you for your
understanding.
If you can solve it as soon as possible that
would be great and I will give you a thumps up
and positive feedback :)

The Pascal triangle can be displayed as elements in a lower-triangular matrix as shown on the right. Write a MATLAB program that creates a n × n matrix that displays n rows of Pascal’s triangle. Use the program to create 4 and 7 rows Pascal’s triangles. (One way to calculate the value of the elements in the lower portion of the matrix is
I need help with a MATLAB code. I need to find two values of n, one that is positive and one that is negative, that will give all negative real roots. Can you help me find them?
function [r] = find_roots(n)
% Define constants I = 400; J = 150; x = (J/I) - 1; y = n - 1; Q = y + x*(y-1);
% Define the coefficients of the quadratic equation coefficients = [1, 0, (3*x+Q^2+1), 0, (3*x*Q+Q^2)];
% Find the roots r = roots(coefficients);
