Implement following equation in MATLAB SOFTWARE .
Friction for fluid flow in pipes is described by a dimensionless number, the Fanning friction factor x. The Fanning friction factor is dependent on a number of parameters related to the size of the pipe and the fluid, which can all be represented by another dimensionless quantity, the Reynolds number R. A formula that predicts Fanning friction factor x for given Reynolds number R is x14log10(Rx)0.4 known as the von Karman equation. Typical values for the Reynolds number for turbulent flow are 10000 to 500000 and for the Fanning friction factor are 0.001 to 0.01. (a) Use Bisection method to approximate the Fanning friction factor x in the interval [0.001,0.01] for each of the following values of Reynolds number R=Rk=10000k,k1,2,,50. All approximations must be within an absolute accuracy of 1015. Plot the numerical results for Fanning friction factor obtained by Bisection method against the Reinolds numbers {Rk}k=150
