The tiles on the space shuttle are constructed to withstand a temperature of 1950 kelvin. Write a MAT LAB program that will display the temperature in the four temperature units [kelvins, degrees Celsius, degrees Fahrenheit, and degrees Rankine]. Each value should be incorporated into a sentence with appropriate text, and each sentence should appear on a new line. Format all values as integers.

On an alien planet, the law that expresses the flow of blood through a blood vessel, F, as a function of the radius r of the vessel is
f=kr5/2where k is a constant.
Certain geological features of this planet produce a gas that changes the radius of blood vessels by 5% at the time of inhalation. What would the corresponding increase in blood flow through the vessel at this time be?

For Questions 3 and 4: A cup of water was heated to a
temperature of 90°. It was placed in a refrigerator that had a
temperature of 11°C. The water cooled to a temperature of
17°C in 30 minutes. Let the following variables represent
the relevant quantities.
L = Temperature of the liquid
S= Temperature of the surroundings
t = Time
B = Initial temperature of the liquid (Temperature at t = 0
k = Cooling constant
3. Using the Equation Solver, find the value of k in the
equation L = (B - S)e -kt + S. Remember to set the
equation equal to zero and then enter it into the Solver.

When you work for a company that studies the performance of car engines, you are tasked with accurately measuring the amount of air intake by car engines. A gas flow meter was introduced from the United States to measure the amount of air. This flow meter measures the flow rate using the pressure difference. Looking at the instruction manual of this flow meter, the following equations were found for the pressure difference head and volume flow [unit, volume/time]. ▷ Volumetric Flow Rate[ft°/min]: =(55.3658* DP-0.143168* DP^ 2)) However, DP is the head (water height) of the manometer, and the unit is inch to be. In the above equation, if you insert DP[inch], the air volume flow rate can be calculated and the unit of the volume flow rate is ft/min. Complex unit conversion is included in the constant in front of DP, so you don't need to worry about it. Before the experiment to measure the amount of air inhaled into the engine, the current atmospheric pressure and temperature were…arrow_forward3) 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.arrow_forward
