Chapter 18.4, Problem 14CC

Write MATLAB code to represent the following conditional statements.

  1. a. If your time running a marathon (stored in MTime) is less than your previous fastest time (stored in PersBest), display the message “New personal best” and replace the value in PersBest with the value in MTime.
  2. b. If the scales indicate that the truck weighs more than its legal maximum weight, display the message “Reduce the load in the truck”; otherwise, display “Load acceptable.”

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.

1) A low-friction cart is placed between two identical springs attached to rigid walls. If you push the cart against one of the springs and release it, it will continue to move back and forth between the springs. www Draw a force-time graph showing the sum of the horizontal forces exerted on the cart as it moves back and force between the springs. Scientific Abilities Is able to construct a force diagram Missing No representation is constructed. Inadequate FD is constructed but contains major errors such as incorrect mislabeled or not labeled force vectors, length of vectors, wrong direction, extra incorrect vectors are added, or vectors are missing. Needs Improvement FD contains no errors in vectors but lacks a key feature such as labels of forces with two subscripts or vectors are not drawn from single point, or axes are missing. Adequate The diagram contains no errors and each force is labeled so that it is clearly understood what each force represents. Explain whether or not this…
