close all; clear;
h = input('height of water in tank = ');
Unable to run the 'fevalJSON' function because it calls the 'input' function, which is not supported for this product offering.
H1 = 11; %in
H2 = 5; %in m
r1 = 3.5; %in m
r2 = 6; %in m
if h < 0
Vtotal = 0;
elseif h < 11
Vtotal = pi*r1*r1*h; % Volume of water in tank in m^3
else
rh = r1+((h-H1)*(r2-r1))/H2;
Vtotal = pi*r1*r1*H1+(pi*(h-H1)*(r1*r1+r1*rh+rh*rh))/3; % Volume of water in tank in m^3
end
plot(h,Vtotal)
I dont know how to plot the graph from h = 0 to 17. I am just not sure what needs to be changed in the code. Thank you

So the tank is a cylinder with radius r1 for 0 <= h <= H1, followed by a frustrum of height H2 with lower radius r1 and upper radius r2 ?
Then you still have to distinguish the cases h <= H1 + H2 and h > H1 + H2.

hvals = linspace(0,17);
numh = length(hvals);
Vtotal = zeros(numh, 1);
H1 = 11; %in
H2 = 5; %in m
r1 = 3.5; %in m
r2 = 6; %in m
for hidx = 1 : numh
h = hvals(hidx);
if h < 0
Vtotal(hidx) = 0;
elseif h < 11
Vtotal(hidx) = pi*r1*r1*h; % Volume of water in tank in m^3
else
rh = r1+((h-H1)*(r2-r1))/H2;
Vtotal(hidx) = pi*r1*r1*H1+(pi*(h-H1)*(r1*r1+r1*rh+rh*rh))/3; % Volume of water in tank in m^3
end
end
plot(hvals,Vtotal)
