It's an object that's falling from rest. The equation takes into account linear friction. in any case, this is is my code or program of whatever it is called:
m=80;%Mass of ignorance
g=9.8;%Gravity
beta=1.6*10^-4;%Given coefficient for air at STP
D=.4;%Diameter of Palin, assuming she's a spherical object
b=beta*D;%Coefficient of linear friction
t=0:.2:60;
x=(m./b)*(g*t + e^(-b*t./m));
plot(t,x)
grid on
xlabel('time','FontSize',16)
ylabel('Position of Sarah Below Helicopter','FontSize',16)
I get this error:
Error in ==> HW13myprogram at 10
x=(m./b)*(g*t + e^(-b*t./m));
What am I doing wrong?
