Question #1

Engineering Analysis Tools and Techniques ECE 102 Individual Exercise/Homework Your engineering firm has been awarded a contract to develop a military defense system similar to the Patriot Missile System used in the Gulf War. The system uses large cannons capable of very high initial velocities that fire projectiles armed with conventional explosives. Your initial job is to develop a computer model that models the performance of the offensive installation of the sys- tem shown in the figure below The offensive system is a more conventional system capable of firing rounds at velocities up to 500 ft/s. The angle at which the rounds can be fired can range from a minimum of 30 degrees to a maximum of 50 degrees (integer values only) above the horizontal and each round's detonation time must be set to a specific time Model Development Summary out: +D , 30 50 300 (DVD Defensive Installation Variables: Initial Launch Trajectory (degrees) Vo Initial Launch Velocity (ft/s) D Detonation Time (s) Parameters: (xoVo) Coordinates of Offensive System (ft) (xpV) Coordinates of Defensive System (t) Constants: g Acceleration of Gravity (ft/s)
