    This document provides guidelines for a machine problem assignment involving numerical integration and solving for centroids. For part A, students are asked to develop a program to calculate the area under a curve using numerical integration methods like Simpson's rule or Boole's rule. For part B, students must create a program to find the centroid (x-bar and y-bar) of a common shape by integrating over its area. The program should plot and shade the chosen shape along with its calculated centroid. Guidelines specify including functions, boundaries, inputs, and outputs. Students will be evaluated on adhering to features, workability, presentation, and prompt submission.

    MACHINE PROBLEM 3
    A. Estimating Area of Curve using Numerical Integration
    a. Discussion for Numerical Integration

    Numerical Integration

    There are numerous useful methods for obtaining anti-derivatives.


    Unfortunately, some functions have no simple antiderivatives. In such cases,
    if the value of a definite integral is needed it will have to be approximated.
    One way to approximate an integral is to think of the integral as computing
    an area, we can add up the areas of some rectangles. However, it usually
    requires a large number of rectangles to get acceptable accuracy. So, we
    approximate the area under a curve over a small interval as the area of a
    trapezoid.

    b. Objective

    i. To Develop a program for any of the following Numerical Integration


    (Simpson’s 1/3, Simpson’s 3/8, Boole’s Rule) using MATLAB. Note: Do
    not write codes in Numerical Integration using Trapezoidal
    ii. To observe the convergence behavior of different methods of
    Numerical Integration as we increase intervals

    c. Guidelines
    The program must have the following features:
    1. Define example functions and boundary conditions for you to find the
    Area under the curve. (Use any even and odd function for example)
    2. Input desired number of n (number of steps) and display the
    results

    3. Plot the function and shade the estimated area using


    Numerical Integration under the defined function (see fig. 4
    above) Hint: Plot two functions in one graph

    B. Solving Centroid of Any Shapes


    a. Discussion
    In mathematics and physics, the centroid or geometric center
    of a plane figure is the arithmetic mean position of all the
    points in the figure. Informally, it is the point at which a
    cutout of the shape could be perfectly balanced on the tip of a
    pin. When we dealt with distributed loads, we found the
    magnitude of the moment generated by the loading as the
    area under the loading curve multiply by the centroidal
    distance to the point we are dealing.
