My code runs but the decimals in disp function are getting multiplied by 1.0e+03 in comparision to the column run next to it
%%
%m=meters
Height=(0:20:300) ;
%P=kPa
%P=water pressure at the base of the water tower
%p=density of water(p=1000 kg/m^3)
%g=acceleration due to gravity(g=9.81 m/s^2)
p=1000;
g=9.81;
Pressure=((p.*g.*Height)./1000);
disp('Height(m) Pressure(kPa)')
disp([Height' Pressure'])
Pr15_2_nograph
Height(m) Pressure(kPa)
1.0e+03 *
