Question 3: Truss problem
According to the truss problem described below, formulate the linear system Ax=b. Consider the following plane truss having 3 members connected by 3 joints. We would like to determine the resulting force on each member of the truss.
Use d=15.
Using the following static equilibrium equations, cast the system of linear equations into a matrix equation A**x=b, such that A is the matrix of coefficients, b is the load vector (right hand side vector), and x is the vector of unknown forces.
For joint 1
??Fx=0=>1000sin(d)+F1cos(30)+F3cos(60)=0
??Fy=0=>-1000cos(d)+F1sin(30)+F3sin(60)=0
For joint 2
??Fx=0=>H2-F1cos(30)-F2=0
??Fy=0=>V2-F1sin(30)=0
For joint 3
??Fx=0=>F2+F3cos(60)=0
??Fy=0=>V3-F3sin(60)=0
Solve for the unknowns: F1, F2, F3, H2, V2, V3(6 unknows.)
