Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 16ICA
Determine solutions to the following problems
a. Assume the matrix springData has two columns. Each row (pair of numbers) represents data about a specific spring. The first column contains a force in newtons, and the second column contains a displacement in inches that the corresponding force caused in that specific spring. With a single MATLAB command, add a third column to SpringData that contains the corresponding spring constant [N/m] for each data pair.
b. Assume two
c. Assume you have a 2 × N matrix OD. The first row contains measurements of the volumes of various objects [m3]. The elements in the second row are measurements of the specific gravities of the corresponding objects. Determine the total mass in kilograms of all of the objects. In other words, perform the calculation

- Matlab Codearrow_forwardI created a MATLAB code to plot the orbit of a satellite at an altitude of 300 km (LEO). I wanted to propagate my code for 2 revolutions but instead I used (180*60) because it takes 90 minutes to make a full rotation around the earth in LEO. Is that correct?
