Question: Find the force in each truss, shown in below Fig in terms of the external force F. For the numerical application use: AB = CD

Find the force in each truss, shown in below Fig in terms of the external force F. For the numerical application use: AB = CD = l = 1m and F = 100 daN. Write a code on MATLAB such that the angles, alpha and theta change to ensure uniform force distribution on each element.

Required:

Create a loop to check various combinations of aloha and theta to verify the force distribution is uniform on each truss of the given structure.

Note: It is not necessary for all internal forces to be the same value. However, they should be similar in value.
