Question 1:

The capacitance of two parallel conductors of length L and radius r, separated by a distance d in air, is given by

C = Π∈L/ln[(d-r)/r]

where c is the permittivity of air (∈ = 8.854x 10^-12 F/m).

Write a script file that accepts user input for d, L, and r and computes and displays C. Test. the file with the values L=1m, r= 0.001 m, and d =0.004 m.

Question 2:

Write a function that accepts temperature in degree Fahrenheit(⁰F)and computes the corresponding value in degrees Celsius (⁰c). The relation between the two is

T⁰C = 5/9(T⁰F - 32)

Be sure to test your function.

Question 3:

The height and speed of a projectile (such as a thrown ball) launched with a speed of u0 at an angle A to the horizontal are given by

h(t) = v_ot sin A - 0.5 gt²

v(t) = √(v²_o- 2v_ogt sinA + g²t²)

where g is the acceleration due to gravity. The projectile will the ground when h(t) = 0, which gives the time to hit thit= 2(u0/g) sin A.

Suppose that A. 30⁰, u0 = 40 m/s, and g = 9.81 m/s². Use the MATLAB relational and logical operators to find times when

a. The height is no less than 15 rn.

b. The height is no less than 15 m and the speed is simultaneously no greater than 36 m/s.

c. The. height is less Man 5 m or the speed is greater Man 35 m/s.

Question 4:

Figure P20 shows a mass-spring model of the type used to design packaging systems and vehicle suspensions, for example. The springs exert a force that is proportional to their compression, and the proportionality constant is the spring constant k. The two side springs provide additional resistance if the weight W is too heavy for the center spring. When the weight W is gently placed, it moves through a distance x before coming to rest. From statics, the weight force must balance the spring forces at this new position. Thus

W=k1x if x<d

W=k1x+2k2(x-d)if x≥d

These relations can be used to generate the plot of x versus W.

a. Create a function file that computes the distance x, using the input parameters W, k1, k2 and d. Test your function for the following two cases, using the values k1 = 104 N/m; k2 =1.5 x 104 N/m; d =0.1 m.

W=500 N

W=2000 N

b. Use your function to pot x versus W for 0 ≤ Ws ≤ 3000 N for the values of k1. k2, and d given in part a.

Question 5:

We want to analyze the mass spring system discussed in Problem previous problem for the case in which the weight W is dropped onto the platform attached to the center spring. If the weight is dropped from a height h above the platform. we can find the maximum spring compression x by equating the weight's gravitational potential energy with the potential energy stored in the springs. Thus

W(h+x) = 1/2k₁x² if x< d

which can be solved for x as

x = [W ± √(W² + 2k₁Wh)]/k₁ if x < d

and

W(h+ x) = 1/2k₁x² + ½(2k₂(x - d)² if x ≥ d

which gives the following quadratic equation to solve for x: (k1 + 2k2)x2 - (4k2d + 2 W) + 2k2d2 - 2 wh =0 if x ≥ d

a. Create a function file that computes the maximum compression x due to the failing weight. The function's input parameters are k1, k2,d, w and h. Test your function for the following two cases, using the values. K1

= 104 N/m k2 = 1.5 x 104 N/m; and d = 0.1 m.

W=100 N h=0.5 m W =2000 N h =0.5 M

b. Use the function file to generate a plot of x versus h for 0 ≤ h ≤ 2 m. Use w = 100N and proceeding values for k1, k2, k3 and d.

Question 6:

Engineers often need to estimate the pressures and volumes of a gas in a container. The van der Waals equation is often used for this purpose. It is

P = RT/V' - b = a/v'²

where the term b is a. correction for the vokene of the molecules and the term a/v^{^2} is a correction for molecular attractions. The gas constant is R, the absolute temperature is T, and the gas specific volume is V^{^}. The value of is the same for all gases; it is R = 0.08206 L.atm/mol-k. The values of a and b depend on the type C4 gas. Some values are given in the following table. Write a user defined function using the switch structure that computes the pressure P on the basis of the van der Waals equation. The function's input arguments should be T, V^{^}, and a string variable containing the name of a gas fisted in the table.

Test your function for chlorine (C12) for T= 300 K and V^{^}= 20 Land.

Gas	a(L2-atm/mol2)	b(L/mol)
Helium, He	0.0341	0.0237
Hydrogen, 112	0.244	0.0266
Oxygen. 02	1.36	0.0318
Chlorine, Cl2	6.49	0.0562
Carbon dioxide. CO2	3.59	0.0427
