Volume Fractions and Density Calculator

This function calculates the volume fractions of fiber and matrix, and the density of a lamina, given the densities of the fiber and matrix and the weight fraction of the lamina. It takes in fiber density, matrix density, and weight fraction as inputs, and outputs fiber volume fraction, matrix volume fraction, and lamina density. An example application of the function is provided.
