- MATLAB help with the following:arrow_forwardPlease assist with this question. I reviewed the lecture notes that was given and do not understand. Please answer with a detailed explanation. Thank you. I believe there is an easier way to solve this using matlab apparently but I dont know. I will have an image of the reference slide.arrow_forwardCompletely solve and box the final answer. Write legibly 7. Calculate the specific heat of a substance in BTU/lbm-ºR if 17.8 pounds can raise its temperature from 71.4 ºF to 118.5ºF in a period of 1.12 minutes.

- Hi. I am trying to practice this problem using a checker online, but everytime I recalculate my answer it always says it's incorrect. So far I have calculated and tried to input the following values: 1 hp, 1.01 hp, and 0.8 hp but it always keeps saying they are incorrect. Am I missing a sign change? (Should the answer be negative?) Or am I solving this incorrectly and getting the wrong value each time? Please help show me the correct steps on how to get the correct answer as I am trying to learn this process. Thank you!arrow_forwardafter solving, pls explain why u got the answer really need an explanation thank u so much pls explain in sentences. will ratearrow_forwardHello pls solve it fast and correctly, you can verify the answer by looking at the third answer which is correct so u can verify and pls do all the three parts and fast I'll ratearrow_forward
- Hi, I need help with the first part of the problem below because I'm very confused about how P1 and P2 should be calculated. If you look at my notes to solve the problem there is already a formula in place as I always thought the Patm should also be multiplied by the Area in the numerator, but it's not if I look at this specific tutorial solution given by my course but it's not explained why. I have done a while ago a very similar problem with using that formula in my notes and it gave me the right results, but it's not working for this one. Could you please help me understand why as I have a test coming soon? Figure Q3 (see image attached) shows a cylinder and pistonenclosing air, the movement of the pistonbeing restrained by a compression spring ofstiffness 20 kN/m. The air is heated andexpands, the piston moving 0.3 m. Thefree length of the spring is 1.0 m.Calculate the work done by the air duringthe process.If the pressure , volume and internal energyof air are related by the…arrow_forwardplease write a matlab codearrow_forwardUse MATLAB, please make sure you use the numbers on the picture to make the graph that is also on the pictures.

I thought I had done it right with putting 86.03 but that is wrong also. I'm not trying to just find the answer, trying to find how to do this. Could there be a different number than 71.7?
