In this case we will use Scilab and C as our preferred tools.Programs written in C can be very efficient and fast. Moreover, when we develop a complete system, we can incorporate C programs into a finished product.Scilab is a clone of the Matlab software package. Both are designed to do matrix oriented mathematics with simple commands.5.0.1.3 - Prelab1. Write a C Program to integrate the area beneath the function below. The pro-gram should ask the user for the start and end points, as well as the number of steps. (you can download compilers from http://claymore.engineer.gvsu.edu/~blaucha/c2d2/c2d2.html) 2. Review the Scilab tutorial (see the course home page for a link). If off campus you may want to download and install the Scilab software (www.scilab.org).3. Write a Scilab program that does the same numerical integration used in step 1 (there is a similar example in the numerical methods chapter of the textbook).4. Write differential equations for the following system. Convert the equations to state form and write C and Scilab programs to solve the state equations.ft() 5t9t 5–()sint--------------------------+=egr345 lab guide - 5.25.0.1.4 - EquipmentComputer with internet access.5.0.1.5 - Experimental1. (If necessary, download and install a C compiler.) Enter the C program written for numerical integration and verify the operation.2. Enter and test the numerical integration Scilab program written for the prelab.3. Enter the C and Scilab programs for the mechanical system and verify their operation.4.
