5. device.m

Write an M-file named device.m which

  1. sketches the graphs of the angle α(t) and the distance x(t) (on separate plots) over two cycles starting at t = 0 .
  2. determines the first two times when the angle α = 15◦.
  3. plots the graph of the angular acceleration, α(t) [radians/sec], over two cycles starting at t = 0, and determines its maximum value.
  4. plots the path (using equal axes) travelled by the point C. (Its right-most and leftmost points should correspond to your answers in Question 4.)
  5. finds the coordinates of the lowest point on the path taken by C.
