Lab1:Part2

Required:
- Fit a 3rd order polynomial equation to the given coordinates of the points dening a prole of the launch surface

Launchsurface

- Fit an exponential equation, y(x) = a0 + a1*exp(a2*x)


to these coordinates

- Fit a straight line to the given coordinates of the


points dening the bottom edge of the ramp

- Find the directional angle of the bottom edge - Calculate the coordinates of points scanned on the launch surface, for the case if the ramp was oating, i.e., if its bottom edge was horizontal - Implement a button-activated macro for tting the 3rd order polynomial above Bottomedge
