Assignment 2
A2-1. Plot t versus v with line width 1.5, dotted, red
colored line, triangle shaped, marker with size 10,
black edge, and green face.
>> t=0:2:20; m=68.1; cd=0.25;
>> g=9.81;
>> v=sqrt(g*m/cd)*tanh(sqrt(g*cd/m)*t);
>> plot(t,v)
>> hold on
>> plot(t,v, 'o')
>> hold off
>> title ('Plot of v versus t')
>> xlabel('Values of t')
>> ylabel('Values of v')
>> grid
>> plot (t,v, ':^r', 'Linewidth', 1.5, 'MarkerSize' , 10, 'MarkerEdgeColor', 'k', 'MarkerFaceColor', 'g')

d. Plot measured velocity (v) vs. predicted terminal

velocity (vpred) in the top half of a figure with circle
shaped and drag coefficient (cd) vs. mass (m) in the
bottom half with diamond shaped using subplot.
>> subplot(2,1,1);plot(v,pred,'o')
>> subplot(2,1,2);plot(cd,m,'d')
A2-3. Using M-files (script and function files), execute the
following statements for determining F:
= ( + )
F= the future worth, P= amount of money invested, $100,000, i=interest rate, 0.06, n= number
of years, 7
p=10;
i=0.06;
n=7;
F = p*(1+i)^n

>> F
F =
15.0363
function F = future( p,i,n )
%UNTITLED10 Summary of this function goes here
%
Detailed explanation goes here
F=p*(1+i)^n
end

>> future(100000,0.06,7)
F =
1.5036e+05
ans =
1.5036e+05

A2-4. Using input and disp function, find out the value of Future worth (F) of A2-3 (use only script
file)
