Problem 3(30 points): Given that the space frame \( A B C D E \) is supported by a ball and socket at \( B \) and short links at \( C, D \), and \( E \), use your FBD from HW 1 or from HW1 solutions to:
a) develop a set of equilibrium equations for the space frame,
b) create the coefficient matrix, \(\mathbf{A}\), and the constants vector \(\mathbf{b}\), and
c) use \(\mathbf{x}=\mathbf{A}^{-1}\mathbf{b}\) to find the unknown forces at \( B \),\( C, D \), and \( E \)
