Question: A ? F x = 0 : , A x + s i n ( ) T A B = 0 A ? F y

A?Fx=0:,Ax+sin()TAB=0
A?Fy=0:,Ay-cos()TAB-TAC=0
B?Fx=0:,-sin()TAB-sin(30)TBC=0
B?Fy=0:,cos()TAB-cos(30)TBC=W
C?Fx=0:,sin(30)TBC+Cx=0
C?Fy=0:,TAC+cos(30)TBC=0
Define a function named trussSolve() which takes as input:
W, the input load in the problem
= theta, the angle between the AC and AB truss members in degrees
and returns as output:
=x,a61 double array with components TAB,TBC,TAC,Ax,AY,Cx in this order. These components represent the forces in the truss members at equilibrium.
Approach this problem by first formulating the above system of equations into a single matrix equation of the form Ax=b, where for this problem A is a 66 matrix and x,b are 61 vectors. Your goal is to compose A and b using the above equations and solve for the vector of unknows x using MATLAB's backslash operator.
Example:
w =10;
theta =30;
x = trussSolve(W, theta);
Output:
x=
5.7735
-5.7735
5.0000
-2.8868
10.0000
2.8868
