For Problem 1 in the attached document, I am struggling to get the right answers. I cant seem to get the correct code to find the critical points and angles.
This is what I have so far:
pos_trap = zeros(size(vel_meas));
pos_trap(1) = 0.35; % Initial position of the piston
for k = 2:length(vel_meas)
pos_trap(k) = pos_trap(k-1) + 0.5*(vel_meas(k-1)+vel_meas(k))*DeltaT;
end
% Check accuracy of Trapezoid estimate
pos_actual = r*cos(w*t)+sqrt(L^2-r^2*sin(w*t).^2);
Error_trap = abs(pos_actual - pos_trap);

Nick - I don't have the Symbolic Toolbox so can't comment on whether the above will give the correct answer or not. But it looks like you are using diff correctly to get the first and then second derivative of your function. Do you get similar results if you were to work through the problem by hand?

Better would be
syms Th
vel_meas = -0.03*15.708*sin(Th) - 0.03^2*15.708*sin(2*Th)/(2*0.5);
der1 = diff(vel_meas, Th)
CriticalPoints = solve(der1==0, Th)
Note: if you are using a MATLAB version before about R2011b, then change the "derl==0" to just "der1"
