MATLAB: How to solve these two equations for ‘tau’ and ‘b’? All the other symbols are constants. Please help?

I've tried using the sysms command but not sure I'm getting the input formatting correct

Hi,
i used the isolate function instead of solve and found:
sol_tau =
tau == -(2778046668940015*R*g*sin((2*pi*(b + u0))/b0) + 281474976710656*b*b0*m*log(R/rc) - 2778046668940015*R*g*nu*sin((2*pi*(b + u0))/b0) - 140737488355328*b*b0*m*nu*log(R/rc))/(281474976710656*R*b0*pi*(nu - 1))
sol_b =
b == 0
by using these lines of code:
syms m b nu R rc tau g b0 u0
eqn1=(m*b/2)*((2-nu)/(1-nu))*R*log(R/rc)-tau*pi*R^2+(g*pi^2*R^2/b0)*sin(2*pi*(u0+b)/b0)==0;
eqn2=(m*b^2/4)*((2-nu)/(1-nu))*(1+log(R/rc))-2*pi*tau*R*b-g*pi*R*sin(pi*b/b0)*sin(pi*(2*u0+b)/b0)==0;
sol_tau = simplifyFraction(isolate(eqn1,tau))
eqn2_new = simplifyFraction(subs(eqn2,tau,rhs(sol_tau)));
sol_b = simplifyFraction(isolate(eqn2_new,b))
I did not check if you have typos in your equations...
