Homework 02 due week of 30 January 2017

Download the assignment.

The main goals for this assignment are to (1) develop your skills at writing simple m-file functions to perform specific tasks, and (2) use the input arguments to other m-file functions to control their behavior.

Download the following files that are necessary to complete this assignment.

• drawBoard.m to draw the profile of a skateboard,
• fillCircle.m is needed by drawBoard
• loadDailydata.m to read data into MATLAB variables from files downloaded from the NOAA web site.
• daily_ave_Astoria_airport.csv weather data for the Astoria airport
• daily_ave_Bend.csv weather data for the Astoria airport
• daily_ave_Government_Camp.csv weather data for the Astoria airport
• daily_ave_Joseph.csv weather data for the Astoria airport
• daily_ave_Klamath_Falls_airport.csv weather data for the Astoria airport
• daily_ave_Portland_airport.csv weather data for the Astoria airport

A larger image of the nomenclature for the board dimensions may be helpful in solving the second problem.

The viscosityPlot_shell.m function from Homework 1 might be useful (in case you deleted it).

If you are interested in downloading more data, you can follow these steps. To be clear, downloading more data is not required to complete the assignment. You can simply use three data sets from the links in the bulleted list above.
