During a storm, a high wind blows along one side of a rectangular skyscraper as depicted in the figure below. Perform numerical integration to determine total force on the building (in newtons). a. Write a single MATLAB program to solve the problem. b. Use Least-Square method to find a polynomial as, F=f(z). Consider, acceptable coefficient of determination as 0.99 . c. Employ Gaussian-Elimination method, instead of matrix inversion commands in MATLAB, to find the coefficients of the polynomial in part (a). d. Use Simpson's 1/3 rule to integrate the polynomial for an acceptable tolerance limit of 1%. e. Write a generalized program. Submission requirements a) Copy-pasted MATLAB program b) Program output
