Coleg Llandrillo has asked you to lead a small tutorial session explaining the features of programming languages to other students. As part of this you will produce a presentation which explains the features of common programming languages.
Produce a presentation, including additional supporting notes, which covers the following aspects:
a) Describe the 3 main programming paradigms. You must also include the main advantages of using this type of programming language and its limitations.

Electrical Safety
Introduction: During the past few years there have been a sharp rise in fire incidents all over Qatar. This poses a great concern to general safety in Qatar. According to the QSA in 2011 there have been a total of 1026 fire incidents. The majority of these incidents have been caused by electrical problems. For that reason I will conduct a lab report to investigate electrical safety.
Electrical problems cause fires when a high current runs through the circuit. When a high current runs through a wire it will heat up, to much heat will cause a fire. By investigating how adding more electrical devices (eg. electric bulbs) to a circuit affects the current, I will be able to determine wether the number of electrical devices connected to a single plug will affect electrical safety or not.
Aim: I will investigate the relationship between the number of bulbs in the circuit and the current going through it. I will do this by making a parallel circuit with an ammeter and one

Linear and non-linear modelling and control in Matlab / Simulink
A basic vehicle simulation model for the evaluation of ride comfort is characterised by four degrees of freedom: vertical displacement and pitch angle of the sprung mass, and vertical displacement of the unsprung masses. Figure 1 is the schematic of the system.
The report (maximum length: 6 A4 pages excluding Appendices) which is required for this assignment should cover the following points:
• Equations describing system dynamics in linear conditions;
• Conversion of the equations into a state space formulation, where the inputs are assigned in terms of vertical displacements of the contact points between tyre and road;
• Implementation of the state space formulation by using Simulink;
• Simulation of a step input from the road (amplitude 2 cm, at vehicle velocities of 50, 90 and
130 km/h);
• Simulation of the system in the same manoeuvres, by supposing non-linear springs and dampers (typical characteristics
