Solve the following problem using both methods: matrix operation and symbolic math
A truss is a structure made of members
1000 N
500 N
jointed at their ends. For the truss shown in the figure, the forces in the nine members are determined by solving the fol-

lowing system of nine equations.
cos (45) F,+ F,=0
F,+ cos (48.81)F; - cos (45)F,=0
72000 N

sin(48.81)F,- F; - sin (45)F,=1000 cos (48.81)Fg - F4=0,
sin(48.81)Fg - F,=500
F9- cos (48.81)Fs-F6=0, F,+ sin(48.81)F; =4000
sin(48.81)Fg =-1107.14,-cos (48.81)Fg- Fo -0
Write the equations in a 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.
