Chapter 4, Problem 23P
A truss is a Structure made of members joined at their ends. For the truss shown in the figure, the forces in the seven members are determined by solving the following system of seven equations.
F1cos28.5°+ F2-3000=0,
F1sin 28.5°+6521=0,
- F1cos 28.5°-F3cos 58.4°+ F5cos 58.4°+ F6cos 28.5°+3000 =0,
-F1sin 28.5°- F3sin 58.4°- F6sin 58.4 °- F6sin 28.5°=0
-F4- F5cos 58.4°+ F7=0, F6sin 28.5°+7479=0- F7- F6cos 28.5°=0 Write the equations in 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 where the first column displays the member number and the second column displays the corresponding force.

Three forces of A, B & C act on a bolt as shown in the figure below.
Where A = 360 N, B = 480 N and C = 410 N. Find the resultant force magnitude and direction.
A
25.0°
42.2°
62.6°
B
Resultant Force = 274 N, Direction = 158°
Resultant Force = 254 N, Direction = 138°
Resultant Force = 264 N, Direction = 148°
Resultant Force = 234 N, Direction = 128°
The resultant of two forces of 266 N and 181 N is 302 N. What angle does the resultant make with each of the two forces?
