MACHINE PROBLEM SET # 1



Released: July 6, 2014 (09:50 PM)
Instructions and Ground Rules:
1. Please follow all the rules and instructions for this machine problem set. All
violations are subject for corresponding point deduction on the
students attained points.
2. Source code files must have a *.c extension (i.e. my_file.c). Library code
files (if tasked to be written) must be in *.h extension.
3. Submitted source code files must be properly commented with the students
name, ID number, section and date.
4. Files must be of format as follows:

<LAST_NAME>_<ID_NUMBER>_MPS1_<SINGLE_COMMENT>.<EXTENSION>

So, say you have a *.c source code and it is the main program you can have as
Bandiola_2009-0661_MPS1_problem1.c. Should there be no
comment on your file, just put it as Bandiola_2009-0661_MPS1.c. You
can have as many files as you want as long as it is necessary to solve the
problem.
5. STRICTLY NO COPYING of source codes from other sources (i.e. classmates,
internet, friends, etc). You may discuss your answers with your classmates
and further explore other learning opportunities while doing this machine
problem set, but do not cheat on this. (P.S. I know what a copied code looks
like, so beware!)
6. Every machine problem must be on their respective source code file.
7. SUBMISSION would be on July 14, 2014 at 11:55 PM. Late submissions will
not
be
considered,
period.
Send

submissions

MACHINE PROBLEM # 1:
Difficulty: EASY (worth 20 points)

Rankine is a rarely used temperature scale that was proposed in 1859. The formula
for Rankine given a value in Celsius is as follows:

Ra = C 1.8 + 491.67

Write a program that gives the value of a certain temperature in Rankine (Ra) given
a certain temperature in Fahrenheit (F). Your program must be interactive such
that your program will ask for the value of the temperature in Fahrenheit.
Additionally, your program must utilize functions such that given a value in
Fahrenheit; it will return the value for Rankine.

MACHINE PROBLEM # 2:
Difficulty: EASY (worth 20 points)

Given your program in Machine Problem #1, change your program such that the
input of your program is in Kelvin. Same rules apply from the first problem.


MACHINE PROBLEM # 3:
Difficulty: MEDIUM (worth 30 points)

In basic algebra, the quadratic formula is the solution of the quadratic equation.
There are other ways to solve the quadratic equation instead of using the quadratic
formula, such as factoring, completing the square, or graphing. The quadratic
formula is defined as follows:

! 4
=

2

For this problem, make a program that given three values a, b and c, the program
will return the value of x. Lets assume that the value of ! 4 is positive. Your
program must utilize both user-defined and math functions. Additionally, it must be
interactive such that your program will ask for the values of a, b and c.


MACHINE PROBLEM # 4:
Difficulty: MEDIUM(worth 30 points)

A six-meter-long ladder leans against a building. If the ladder makes an angle of 60
with the ground, how far up the wall does the ladder reach? How far from the wall is
the base of the ladder? Round your answers to two decimal places, as needed. Make
a program that will solve this problem.
