Assing

This document contains an assignment for a computer aided engineering course. It includes 3 questions, 2 related to statics and 1 to dynamics. For the statics questions, students are asked to draw free body diagrams, calculate reaction forces, write equations for shear and bending, and create Matlab scripts to represent and plot the results. For the dynamics question, students derive and solve differential equations of motion for a damped harmonic oscillator, create a Matlab function, and use it in a script to plot responses for different damping conditions. The report requires including equations, code, and figures, along with interpreting the results.
