Let's break down the problem step by step.
### Given:
The force \( F \) is given by:
\[
F = \int_{0}^{H} 200 \left( \frac{z}{5+z} \right) e^{-2z/H} dz
\]
where \( H = 30 \).
---
## (a) **Romberg Integration Algorithm**
**Step 1: Define the function**
Let:
\[
f(z) = 200 \frac{z}{5+z} e^{-2z/30}
\]
**Step 2: Romberg Table**
Given values in the first column (trapezoidal approximations):
| i | \( O(h_i^2) \) | \( O(h_i^4) \) | \( O(h_i^6) \) | \( O(h_i^8) \) |
|---|-----------------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
| 1 | 348.0501404 | X | X | X |
| 2 | 1001.7312965 | \( R_{2,2} \) | X | X |
| 3 | 1320.58478775 | \( R_{3,2} \) | \( R_{3,3} \) | X |
| 4 | 1435.0704356 | \( R_{4,2} \) | \( R_{4,3} \) | \( R_{4,4} \) |
**Romberg Integration Formula:**
\[
R_{k,j} = R_{k,j-1} + \frac{R_{k,j-1} - R_{k-1,j-1}}{4^{j-1} - 1}
\]
---
### **Let's compute the required entries:**
#### **First, copy the given values:**
- \( R_{1,1} = 348.0501404 \)
- \( R_{2,1} = 1001.7312965 \)
- \( R_{3,1} = 1320.58478775 \)
- \( R_{4,1} = 1435.0704356 \)
---
#### **Compute \( R_{2,2} \):**
\[
R_{2,2} = R_{2,1} + \frac{R_{2,1} - R_{1,1}}{4-1}
= 1001.7312965 + \frac{1001.7312965 - 348.0501404}{3}
\]
\[
= 1001.7312965 + \frac{653.6811561}{3}
= 1001.7312965 + 217.8937187
= \boxed{1219.6250152}
\]
---
#### **Compute \( R_{3,2} \):**
\[
R_{3,2} = R_{3,1} + \frac{R_{3,1} - R_{2,1}}{4-1}
= 1320.58478775 + \frac{1320.58478775 - 1001.7312965}{3}
\]
\[
= 1320.58478775 + \frac{318.85349125}{3}
= 1320.58478775 + 106.28449708
= \boxed{1426.86928483}
\]
---
#### **Compute \( R_{3,3} \):**
\[
R_{3,3} = R_{3,2} + \frac{R_{3,2} - R_{2,2}}{16-1}
= 1426.86928483 + \frac{1426.86928483 - 1219.6250152}{15}
\]
\[
= 1426.86928483 + \frac{207.24426963}{15}
= 1426.86928483 + 13.81628464
= \boxed{1440.68556947}
\]
---
#### **Compute \( R_{4,2} \):**
\[
R_{4,2} = R_{4,1} + \frac{R_{4,1} - R_{3,1}}{4-1}
= 1435.0704356 + \frac{1435.0704356 - 1320.58478775}{3}
\]
\[
= 1435.0704356 + \frac{114.48564785}{3}
= 1435.0704356 + 38.16188262
= \boxed{1473.23231822}
\]
---
#### **Compute \( R_{4,3} \):**
\[
R_{4,3} = R_{4,2} + \frac{R_{4,2} - R_{3,2}}{16-1}
= 1473.23231822 + \frac{1473.23231822 - 1426.86928483}{15}
\]
\[
= 1473.23231822 + \frac{46.36303339}{15}
= 1473.23231822 + 3.09086889
= \boxed{1476.32318711}
\]
---
#### **Compute \( R_{4,4} \):**
\[
R_{4,4} = R_{4,3} + \frac{R_{4,3} - R_{3,3}}{64-1}
= 1476.32318711 + \frac{1476.32318711 - 1440.68556947}{63}
\]
\[
= 1476.32318711 + \frac{35.63761764}{63}
= 1476.32318711 + 0.5656771
= \boxed{1476.88886421}
\]
---
### **Table with all values:**
| i | \( O(h_i^2) \) | \( O(h_i^4) \) | \( O(h_i^6) \) | \( O(h_i^8) \) |
|---|-----------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
| 1 | 348.0501404 | X | X | X |
| 2 | 1001.7312965 | 1219.6250152 | X | X |
| 3 | 1320.58478775 | 1426.86928483 | 1440.68556947 | X |
| 4 | 1435.0704356 | 1473.23231822 | 1476.32318711 | 1476.88886421 |
---
#### **Check if the tolerance is met for \( R_{4,4} \):**
\[
\epsilon_a = \left| \frac{R_{4,4} - R_{3,3}}{R_{4,4}} \right| \times 100\%
\]
\[
= \left| \frac{1476.88886421 - 1440.68556947}{1476.88886421} \right| \times 100\%
= \left| \frac{36.20329474}{1476.88886421} \right| \times 100\%
= 2.45\%
\]
This is slightly above the 0.5% tolerance, so you would continue, but for the scope of the table and the problem, these are the values you fill in.
---
## (b) **MATLAB's `integral` function**
You would use:
```matlab
f = @(z) 200.*(z./(5+z)).*exp(-2*z/30);
F_exact = integral(f, 0, 30, 'AbsTol', 1e-12, 'RelTol', 1e-12);
```
Suppose this gives: \( F_{\text{exact}} = 1477.0 \) (for illustration; actual value may differ slightly)
---
## (c) **Absolute true relative error for \( R_{4,4} \)**
\[
\epsilon_t = \left| \frac{F_{\text{exact}} - R_{4,4}}{F_{\text{exact}}} \right|
\]
Assume \( F_{\text{exact}} = 1477.0 \):
\[
\epsilon_t = \left| \frac{1477.0 - 1476.88886421}{1477.0} \right|
= \left| \frac{0.11113579}{1477.0} \right|
= 7.53 \times 10^{-5}
\]
---

|---|-----------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|
