  • Problem 2.5.1
    • To load data froman Excel file with headers:
import pandas
 
# %% Load data
edata = pandas.read_excel("file.xlsx")
col_1_stuff = edata.values[:, 0].copy()
col_2_stuff = edata.values[:, 1].copy()
  • Problem 2.5.2
    • scipy.integrate.simps at docsscipy.org
    • Note that the denominator in the line of action calculation is $$f_t$$, which you already calculated.
    • If you want to see a graph of the cross section (i.e. Figure 19.9(b)), assuming you call the height above the bottom $$z$$ and the width at that height $$wz$$, you can add the following code:
fig = plt.figure(num=1, clear=True)
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
zval = np.block([z[::-1], z[:]])
wval = np.block([-wz[::-1] / 2, wz[:] / 2])
ax.plot(wval, zval, "k-")
ax.axis("equal")
