Multiply each element of a matrix by different element from another matrix

I am trying to fix the for loop, so I can find Fsp for each angle, but xi is not the same dimension as Fsp. Xi is based on an angle theta, 0-360. Fsp is a function of Xi, Fspo, and Giss.

massg=10^-5:10; %mass [g]
mass=massg/1000; %mass [kg]
Ra_leo=2000; Ra_geo=35786; % altitude[km]
R=6378; %Radius of Earth [km]
riss=450+R; %ISS altitude [km]
rgps=20200+R;%GPS altitude [km]
rgeo=35786+R;%GEO altitude [km]
theta=0:360; %angle [degrees]
xi=cosd(theta); %shielding factor

%Graviational focusing factor
Giss=1+Ra_leo/riss;
Ggps=1+Ra_leo/rgps;
Ggeo=1+Ra_geo/rgeo;

% Calculate Forces
F1=(2.2E3.*mass.^.306+15).^-4.38;
F2=1.3E-19.*(mass+10.*mass.^11.*mass.^2+10.*mass.^27.*mass.^4).^-0.36;
F3=1.3E-16.*(mass+10^6.*mass.^2).^-0.85;
Fspo=3.15576E7.*(F1+F2+F3);

for i=1:length(Fspo)
    for j=1:length(theta)
        Fsp(j)=Fspo.*xi.*Giss;
    end
end

Do you really mean:

massg = 10^-5:10;
fprintf('%g\n', massg)

1e-05
1.00001
2.00001
3.00001
4.00001
5.00001
6.00001
7.00001
8.00001
9.00001

I do. It's stated in the hw problem as using that

"It's stated in the hw problem as using that"

They are extremely odd values to use. One should definitely not assume that academics do not make mistakes.

massg = 10.^(-5:1)

massg = 1×7

0.0000 0.0001 0.0010 0.0100 0.1000 1.0000 10.0000

Fspo=3.15576E7.*(F1+F2+F3);

%try meshgrid
[Fspo,xi]=meshgird(Fspo,xi);
Fsp=Fspo.*xi*Giss;%matrix with all the calculations

It does not work for the type 'double'

"Does not work" is not useful to explain, what the problem is. Please post a copy of the ecomplete error message.
