Two different functions Graph_1 and Graph_2 are defined to show variation of draG_force with velocity and cd respectively.
They are defined as follows:
function makeGraph = Graph_2(cd,draG_force_2)
graph=figure(2);
plot(cd,draG_force_2 , \'color\' , \'b\');
grid on;
end
function makeGraph = Graph_1(v,draG_force_1)
graph=figure(1);
plot(v,draG_force_1 , \'color\' , \'r\');
grid on;
end
The final plots are as shown:
