MATLAB Solution

Assignment 1 (Solution)
1. (a)
Matlab Code Input:
lc=3;
lp=3;
W=100;
d=0.3:2.5:lp;
% Calculate tension
T=W *lc *lp./(d.*sqrt(lp^2-d.^2));
plot(d,T,'-p');
xlabel('Distance d in m');
ylabel('Tension in string in N');
grid on;
[Tmin, I]=min(T);
fprintf('Minimum tension is %g N at %g cm',Tmin,d(I))
Output:

Minimum tension is 298.439 N at 2.8 m.
