Scenario
You are assigned a role as a mechanical engineer for a vehicle design manufacturing company. Your
department has a software to perform numerical differentiation and integration. To be able to verify the
results of using the software and validate these results, your department manager has asked you to
analytically perform some tasks to validate the results generated by the software.
Q: is the last two digits of your student Id number. If your number is (20110092) then Q=92.
P: is the last digit of your student Id Number. If your number is (20110092) then P=2,
If that digit equals zero then use P=1. Example: If your number is (20110040) then P=1.

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.
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);

- You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. 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.

- O You are running an industrial research study together with your project team to improve energy efficiency in a combustion process. The purpose of the research is to identify the optimum air-fuel ratio for the combustion process in a boiler under varying conditions of air supply and quality of fuel.

- A. A customer asked you to explain your choice of a temperature sensor that you used for his PCB. Initially, there were two sensor options. To compare between them, you decided to test their accuracy and precision. Accuracy of a sensor is a measure of how near its reading is to the real value, the nearer the measured value to the real value the better. While precision is a measure of how widely spread the readings of a sensor are [relative to each other] when measuring the same variable, the narrower the spread the better. So, you tested the two sensors by measuring the same temperature, which was 100 C of boiling water, and you recorder the following 10 measurements of each sensor. Which Sensor has higher accuracy, and which one has higher precision. Sensor Sensor readings when measuring 100 C 99.65 100.05 103 102 99.3 s1 100.1 99.1 100.5 99 98.8 98.78 96.9 101.4 98.88 99 S2 99.12 98.9 99 98.69 99.2arrow_forwardo Draw a diagram of the problem. o Assign variables to quantities that change wrt time. o Identify the following: * given (rates, constant quantities, etc.) • Goal o Write an equation relafing the variables. o Differentiate the equation implicitly wrt time.arrow_forwardMy professor said that I need to use the numbers as shown on the picture and make the exact graph that is also shown on the picture.
