- In your biomechanical testing lab, you perform a series of compression tests to determine the relationship between apparent bone density (p, units of g/cm³) and ultimate stress (ơult, units of MPa). Using the set of experimental measurements below, write an m-file to fit a power relationship of the form O uli = Ap to the data. Use the log transform method to linearize the system and data, followed by linear regression. Plot the data points and the power relationship on a single plot. Be sure to label your axes and provide a legend. Provide a printout of your m-file and a printout of the command window showing your results. Write down the best fit equation and box it. 8.76 5.25 4.26 5.51 3.88 18.45 2.09 13.72 5.42 2.17 Oult (MPa) p (g/cm³) 0.598 | 0.459 0.319 | 0.235 0.141 0.754 0.177 0.553 0.394 0.246arrow_forwardThe following table lists temperatures and specific volumes of water vapor at two pressures: p = 1.5 MPa v(m³/kg) p = 1.0 MPa T ("C) v(m³/kg) T ("C) 200 0.2060 200 0.1325 240 280 0.2275 0.2480 240 280 0.1483 0.1627 Data encountered in solving problems often do not fall exactly on the grid of values provided by property tables, and linear interpolation between adjacent table entries becomes necessary.
