Write a script that will ask for pressure value in psi and display the equivalent pressure in kPa with a statement, such as "The converted pressure is: ..."
% This script converts pressures from psi to kPa
% User is prompted to enter pressure in psiclc % Clear screen
disp('This script converts pressures from psi to kPa:')disp(' ') % Display blank line
psi=input('What is the pressure value in psi? ');kPa=psi*6.894757; % Calculating pressure in kPa
disp(' ') % Display blank linestr = ['The converted pressure is: ', num2str(kPa), ' kPa.'];disp(str); The script output is as follows:
This script converts pressures from psi to kPa:What is the pressure value in psi? 150The converted pressure is: 1034.2135 kPa.
Write a script that generates a table of conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius temperatures for a range and increment entered by the user, such as
Enter the beginning temperature in F:
Enter the ending temperature in F:
Enter the increment value:
Test your script with 20 the beginning Fahrenheit value, 200 the ending Fahrenheit value and 20 the increment.

Pascal's Law states that pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout a fluid at rest. (See the illustration below). An initial force of 150 N is transmitted from a piston of 25 mm^2 to a piston of 100 mm^2. This force is progressively increased up to 200 N. Write a script that computes the corresponding load carried by the larger piston and tabulate your results.
% This script computes the load carried by the larger piston in a hydraulic system
