- 3) Body mass index (BMI) of a person is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. In U.S. customary units it is calculated by: BMI = 703" %D where W is the person's weight in pounds and h is the heights in inches. Write a MATLAB program in a script file that calculates the BMI. For input the program asks the user to enter his/her weight and height. The pro- gram then calculates the BMI rounded to the nearest tenth. For output the program displays the message: "The BMI is: XX." where XX is the value of the BMI. Determine the BMI of a 68-in.-tall person that weigh162 lb.arrow_forward4 of 11 Plane-Stress Transformation Learning Goal: The state of in-plane stress at a point on an element of material is shown.

- For Questions 3 and 4: A cup of water was heated to a temperature of 90°. It was placed in a refrigerator that had a temperature of 11°C. The water cooled to a temperature of 17°C in 30 minutes. 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. Remember to set the equation equal to zero and then enter it into the Solver.arrow_forwardLearning Goal: To calculate the principal stresses and maximum in-plane shear stress for a plane state of stress. The normal and shear stresses for a state of stress depend on the orientation of the axes. For a general plane state of stress, there is one orientation where the two normal stresses are a maximum and minimum and the shear stresses on the faces of the element are zero. The two normal stresses 01 and 2 are known as principal stresses. The directions of the faces on which the principal stresses act are known as the principal planes. The principal stresses can be calculated using the following formula: σ1,2 = Tmax = O₂ + Oy 2 ± Figure The maximum in-plane shear stress occurs on a plane that is 45° away from the principal planes. The average normal stress on this plane is O₂ + Oy generally not zero, but is avg = maximum shear stress is given by the following equation: .

- Hi, I need help with the first part of the problem below because I'm very confused about how P1 and P2 should be calculated. 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. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon? Figure Q3 (see image attached) shows a cylinder and pistonenclosing air, the movement of the pistonbeing restrained by a compression spring ofstiffness 20 kN/m.
