Index Exceeds Number of Array Elements Error in For Loop

1 view (last 30 days)
I keep receiving the following error on line 36 (Icom2=....): Index exceeds the number of array elements (1). I am unsure what is wrong as I have tried everything I can think of to resolve the issue.

COG=0.416*L;
GOC is a scalar.
for k=1:length(Lo) %Varying With Time
COG2(k)=0.416*Lo(k);
Icom2(k)=(footandlegM)*COG(k)^2
end
You assign to COG2(k) in the one line. In the next line you try to index COG(k) rather than the COG2(k) that you just wrote to. But COG is a scalar.
