o Section of the code to display to the user
OVER COMMENT
On the exam just do the code otherwise you have no time
EX1
o Create a program which converts the number centimeters in to feet
noting 1in-2.54cm and 12in=1ft
Given the above information:
1. Draw the flowchart to solve this conversion program
2. Write the program
EX2
o Given r and theta, the moment of intertia for a circular sector is
o Ix=(1/4)r4(theta-(1/2)sine(2theta)
o Iy=(1/4)r4(theta+(1/2)sine(2theta)
1. Write the pseudocode
Input r and theta
Calculate Ix and Iy
Output r and theta
2. Write the MATLAB program
