sin () sin () sin ()

Answer:
a=9 ; b=18; c=25;
%Question (a): Rearrange the cosine equation
alpha = acosd((a^2-b^2-c^2)/(-2*b*c))
%Question (b): the value shall be 0_deg<beta<90_deg and 90_deg<gamma<180_deg
beta = asind(b*sind(alpha)/a)
gamma = 180-asind(c*sind(alpha)/a)
%Question (c): just sum the value of alpha, beta, and gamma
check = alpha+beta+gamma

Question no. 31 (It is different from our books, but the methodology still same)

Answer:
% Define the coefficient of x,y,z respectively
% A1 is coefficient in equation 1
A1=[3 -2 5];A2=[-4.5 2 3];A3=[5 1 -2.5];
% b1 is a function result
b1=7.5;b2=5.5;b3=4.5;
% Put all linear equation into one form of Matrix, so it will become
% [A]*[c]=[b]
% [c]=inv([A])*[b]
xyz=inv([A1;A2;A3])*([b1;b2;b3])

Question no. 19

Answer:
% Create temperature ranging between 200 to 400 deg Celcius with
% 20 deg increment
T=[200:20:400]';
% Assumed that coeffient value is store in *.xls file
c=xlsread('coefficient.xls','coefficient','B2:E5');
% After read it, you will find it in 4x4 matrix form
% Used it in the main equation. You can use UDF if you want :)

Question no. 31

It should be L

Answer:
% constant value
L=20; E=200E9; I=348E-6; w=5.4E3; M=200E3;
% Define x domain. Remember that there are 2 equations, so we need to
% define x1 and x2 for each equation
x1=[0:0.01*L:0.5*L]
x2=[0.5*L:0.01*L:L]
% Write the equations
y1=(-w*x1/(384*E*I)).*(16*x1.^3-24*L*x1.^2+9*L^3)+(M*x1/(6*E*I*L)).*(x1.^23*L*x1+2*L^2);

function ellipseplot(xc,yc,a,b)
% Since the root of the quadratic have 2 values (+ & -), then the equation
%
shall be rearrange into two equation. Otherwise, it only generate a
%
half ellipse
x1=linspace(xc-a,xc+a,100);
x2=x1
y1= sqrt(b^2*(1-(((x1-xc).^2)./a^2)))+yc;
