Problem 2: MATLAB Code for Deflection, Stresses, and Reaction Forces in a Floor Truss
The members of the floor truss have a cross-sectional area of A = 2/√sinθ and are made of Douglas-fir wood with a modulus of elasticity of E = 1.9x10^6 psi. The top of the truss is divided into 8 members.
Determine the deflection of each joint, the stresses in each member, and the reaction forces using MATLAB.
