3. (Make a MatLab code) You have invested money in a bank account that
compounds annually. The interest rate is 6.4%. You want to know the balance of
the account after 5 years. Use an initial balance of $1000.
HW Matlab 1) Create a variable ftemp to store a temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (F). Write m-file to convert this to degrees Celsius and store the result in a variable ctemp. The conversion factor is C = (F —32) * 5/9. 2) Write m-file to generate a matrix of random integers of size 100 by 100 their values between 15 to 80. 3) Free fall of objects is given by y =5mgt? where a is the acceleration, v is the velocity, y is the distance, m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration. Plot the distance and velocity of the object for 15 seconds after its fall from rest (y = 0). Take m = 0.2 kg.

A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial weight bearing activities. Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…arrow_forward
