- As4. This is my third time asking this question. Please DO NOT copy and paste someone else's work or some random notes. I need an answer to this question. There is a mass attached to a spring which is fixed against a wall. The spring is compressed and then released. Friction and is neglected. The velocity and displacement of the mass need to be modeled with an equation or set of equations so that various masses and spring constants can be input into Matlab and their motion can be observed. Motion after being released is only important, the spring being compressed is not important. This could be solved with dynamics, Matlab, there are multiple approaches.arrow_forwarduse matlab pleasearrow_forwardUSE MATLAB AND SOLVE THIS QUESTION The ideal gas law relates the pressure P, volume V, absolute temperature T, and amount of gas n. The law is P = nRT/ V where R is the gas constant. An engineer must design a large natural gas storage tank to be expandable to maintain the pressure constant at 2.2 atm. In December when the temperature is 4°F (- 15°C), the volume of gas in the tank is 28 500 ft3 . What will the volume of the same quantity of gas be in July when the temperature is 88°F (31°C)? (Hint: Use the fact that n, R, and P are constant in this problem. Note also that K =°C +273.2.)arrow_forward
- Use MATLAB please send code for this.arrow_forwardI am trying to find a Direction Cosine Matrix (DCM) for the Euler angle body 1-2-3 sequence. I tried making my own function and using the MATLAB function, but the result is matrices that are not equal to each other. But, if I were to use the 'ZYX' sequence, I would get a matrix that is equal to the transpose of the matrix produced by my function.I mean that transpose(EA123toDCM) = E123toDCM if I changed the sequence to 'ZYX'. I never got two equal matrices. Can you fix my code so I would get two equal DCM matrices for the body 1-2-3 sequence? Also, for the E123toDCM line, I am using the sequence 'XYZ'. Is that correct or should it be 'ZYX'? I know that that for a DCM of sequence 1-2-3 = R3(theta1)*R2(theta2)*R1(theta3). Is ZYX sequence the same as a 1-2-3 sequence? EA = [pi/3; -pi/4; -pi/6];EA123toDCM = EA123DCM(EA) E123toDCM = angle2dcm(EA(1,1), EA(2,1), EA(3,1), 'XYZ') function [R] = EA123DCM(EA) theta1 = EA(1,1); theta2 = EA(2,1); theta3 = EA(3,1); R1 =…arrow_forwardI wanted to know how to create plots like these in MATLAB.

- 2. This problem has to do with the motion of a car along a straight road. The mass of the car is m, its drag resistance is Cd, the rolling resistance of the tires is pr. Choose any car that you'd like to analyze and obtain its data (cite your source). Look up typical values of rolling resistance. For the MATLAB portions, explore these questions for different values of mass of the car (which would depend on the number of passengers and luggage in the car) and the rolling resistance (which would depend on the inflation pressure of the tires) (a) Determine the differential equation if the car is traveling along a flat road. (b) Determine the traction force corresponding to speed ve. (c) (MATLAB) Determine the 0-60 mph time and distance. (d) (MATLAB) Determine the velocity and distance as a function of time if the car is to be started from rest and is supplied with the tractive force for 30 mph. (e) (MATLAB) If the car is travelling at a steady speed 30 mph and it's to be sped up to 60…arrow_forwardI need help with a MATLAB code.

For example, If I have a DCM, the function would give the axis, lambda, and the angle, theta. Also, is there any built in functions that would transform a Direction Cosine Matrix to Euler Parameters (EP) and Modified Rodrigiues Parameters and Classical Rodriguess Parameters? If I had the DCM given in the image, what would the code in MATLAB to transform it to PRP, EP, MRP, CRP look like?arrow_forward
