solve for free body diagram in matlab in matlab

To solve for a free body diagram in MATLAB, you can first define the forces acting on the body as vectors. Then, you can use MATLAB to plot these vectors to visually represent the free body diagram.

Here's an example of how you can do this in MATLAB:

main.m
% Define the forces acting on the body
F1 = [10, 0];   % Force 1 in x-direction
F2 = [-5, 5];   % Force 2 at an angle

% Plot the forces as vectors
figure;
hold on;
quiver(0, 0, F1(1), F1(2), 0, 'b', 'LineWidth', 2);  % Plot Force 1 in blue
quiver(0, 0, F2(1), F2(2), 0, 'r', 'LineWidth', 2);  % Plot Force 2 in red

axis equal;
xlim([-15, 15]);
ylim([-15, 15]);
title('Free Body Diagram');
legend('Force 1', 'Force 2');
grid on;
hold off;

In this code, quiver function is used to plot the forces as vectors. You can customize the forces, colors, line styles, and appearance of the plot according to your specific problem.

This code will create a figure in MATLAB showing the free body diagram with the defined forces.
