Pair Programming

For this lab, you can work with a partner to practice pair programming and proper programming design.

Below are a list of equations provided by previous students. You and your partner will implement two of these equations.

#	Major	Equation	Formula
1	Chemistry	Ideal Gas Law
2	Civil Engineering	Average Acceleration
3	Electrical Engineering	Ohm's Law
4	Engineering Physics	Newton's Law of Universal Gravitational
5	Math	Distance
6	Math	Volume Sphere
7	Mechanical Engineering	Deflection
8	Mechanical Engineering	Heat Transfer
9	Mechanical Engineering	Stress
10	Mining	Shear Stress
11	Physics	Coulomb's Law

For each equation, you must:

Define the appropriate variables that are needed giving them the proper data type, a proper identifier, and a sensible initial value
Declare constants as needed
You must prompt the user to enter all non-constant values for the equations
Calculate the right hand side of the equation solving for the left hand side
Print out the final computed value of the equation
And as always, be sure to be providing helpful output to the user so the user provides the correct values and knows what is being returned

Now before you get started doing any coding, take out a piece of paper and write out the pseudocode to solve this task. Once you have your pseudocode, determine who is going to drive first and get to coding! We will switch drivers every 5 minutes so listen for the cue to switch positions.

At the end of this lab, your program output should look similar to below:

Enter the acceleration: 4.33
Enter the mass: 9.3
The force is: 40.269
Enter the width: 4
Enter the height: 2
The area is: 8

Lab Submission

You will submit your solution to this lab with the rest of Set2. Detailed instructions for doing this are posted in Assignment 2.
