A truss is a structure made of members joined at their ends. For the truss shown in the figure, the forces in the 13 members are determined by solving the following system of 13 equations.
F2 + 0.7071F1 = 0, -F2 + F6 = 0
F3 - 2000 = 0,
F4 + 0.6585 F5 - 0.7071F1 = 0
0.7071F1 + F3 + 0.7526F5 + 2000 = 0, F7 + 0.6585 F8 €“ F4 = 0
0.7526F8 + F9 = 0, F10 - 0.6 585 F5 - F6 = 0, F9 + 0.7526 F5 - 1000 = 0
0.7071F11 - F7 = 0, 0.7071 F11 + F12 + 3000 = 0,
F12 + 0.7526F8 - 2000 = 0, F13 + 0.7071F11 = 0
Write the equations in matrix form and use MATLAB to determine the forces in the members. A positive force means tensile force and a negative force means compressive force. Display the results in a table where the first column displays the member number and the second column displays the corresponding force.
