Chapter 2, <strong>Sol</strong>ution 108.<br />
Based on the results of Problem 2.107, particularly Equations (1), (2) and (3), we substitute T AC = 2.6 kN and<br />
solve the three resulting linear equations using conventional tools for solving Linear Algebraic Equations<br />
(MATLAB or Maple, for example), to obtain<br />
T AB =<br />
T AD =<br />
4.77 kN<br />
2.61 kN<br />
P = 8.81 kN !<br />
