Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.34CP
For the following computer problems, any appropriate software may be used. Input prompts should fully explain what required of the user (the program should be user-friendly). The resulting output should be well labeled and self-explanatory.
4.34 With reference to Problem 4.25, write a program that will calculate the force in the cable DB. User input is to be the mass M as well as lengths AB and BC. In addition, for each combination of input, the angle at A is to vary from 30° to 60° in steps of 5°.

A weight W= 120 kN is being supported by steel sections with force T, force F, andforce C. The coordinates of A, B, C, and D are given. Assume that E is the origin(0,0,0). Determine Forces T, F, and C. (Hint: Produce three equations fromequilibrium of force system)Note: The Forces T, F, and C must be computed accurately to design the proper sizes ofsteel sections in the subject “Steel Design.”
Using the node method and using matrices in Matlab, determine the force on each element of the
armature shown in the following figure. Set whether the elements are in tension or in compression.
Also calculate the reactions in the supports.
Number the nodes and the elements and pose the sum of forces in X and Y in each of the nodes,
including the supports. To propose the equations consider that all the elements are in tension
(positive value), if the result is negative it means that they are in compression. The same with the
reactions. The unknowns are the forces in the elements and the reactions, the known values are the
applied loads.
6-6. Determine the force on each element of the weapon-lasts and establish whether the
elements are in tension or in compression. Consider P1 = 2 KN and P2 = 1.5 KN.

- A typhoon weakened the streetlight's foundation to the point that it could no longer sustain the streetlight's rotation. A supporting bracket was installed just in time to save the structure from collapsing. An L-shaped RUZ, is supported by pin at Z. Symbolically, the bracket may be thought of as a bar with a pin connection at S and a pin support at W, but its orientation is uncertain. There is a weight of 100 N exerted at point R.
