Plotting velocity of a piston

Hi everyone,
At the moment I'm trying to use MATLAB to plot velocity of a piston for an engineering report but I'm having trouble with my values. I have an equation for the velocity as a function of the angle of the crankshaft from vertical, and this is my code so far:
>> x=0:360; %0-360 deg rotation
>> b=asind(.0405*sin(x)/.13); the angle I need in my equatin, based on x
>> y=29.688*(sin(0+b))/(sin(90-b)); the equation of velocity of the piston
So for each value of x I have a value for b, but y only comes up with one value, rather than 361. I've been going through help files in MATLAB but to no avail. Can anyone guide me?
Thanks,
Mike

sin() operates on radians, but you are feeding it degrees. sind() is the degree equivalent.
