I'm trying to make a plot of depths from 0 up to 3*R for a R of 10 for the following function:
function V = tank(R,d)% This function determines the volume in a tank comprised of a conical
% base of height R and a cylandrical tank of height 3R. Values of the depth of water, d, and R
% are inputted to determine the volume of the tank and if it exceeds the
% overfill limit.
OV = "Overflow";VC =0;Vcyl=0;if d>(3*R) disp(OV)elseif d < R VC = pi*R^2*(d/3); Vcyl =0;else VC = pi*R^2*(R/3); Vcyl = pi*R^2*(d-R);end V = Vcyl + VC;
By using the following script:
R = 10;dmax = 3*Rinc = 0.5 d = 0:inc:dmax V = tank(R,d);
My V array of V values is way off and I cant figure out where I went wrong. I'm assuming it has something to do with not applying the finction to each value of the d array I created?
