Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 5RQ
The specific gravity of gold is 19.3. Write a MATLAB program that will ask the user to input the mass of a cube of solid gold in units of kilograms and display the length of a single side of the cube in units of inches. The output should display a sentence like the one shown that follows, with the length formatted to two decimal places. If the user types a negative number or zero for the mass of the cube, your program should display an error message and terminate.

While constructing a building, an engineer need to fix
two steel beams together using a bracket as shown
in Figure 1. Using absolute coordinate system,
construct a G-code program for drilling hole number
3 only. To remove the metal chips the hole should be
done in three equal steps. During the drilling, coolant
should be on before spindle starts and stop after
spindle stops. The spindle speed set to 1750 RPM.
Drilling bit in rack number 2 and it should be 1 mm
over the work piece. Drilling feed rate is 20 mm/min.
