Chapter 18, Problem 3RQ
A rod on the surface of Jupiter's moon Callisto has a volume measured in cubic meters. Write a MATLAB program that will ask the user to type in the volume in cubic meters in order to determine the weight of the rod in units of pounds-force. The specific gravity is 4.7. Gravitational acceleration on Callisto is 1.25 meters per second squared. The input and output of the program should look similar to the output below. Be sure to report the weight as an integer value.
Sample Input/Output
Enter the volume of the rod [cubic meters]: 0.3
The weight o f the rod is 397 pounds-force.

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.

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.

There are two experiments for this activity – make sure you include both. Experiment #1: Acceleration vs. Force In this lab you will determine the relationship between acceleration and net force. Choose a mass at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment. Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force. Record data for five different values of Applied Force. Graph Acceleration vs. Net Force. Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line).
