I am trying to solve 6 non linear equation with 6 unknowns using the symbolic method. When I run the following script, it just stays on busy and does not return any values. Can anyone help?!
lAB=0.35;
lBC=0.257;
lCD=0.995;
dX=1.4;
dz=0.5;
Mmw=0.5;
rhomw=11340;
Mmb=0.116E-3;
rhomb=14;
Fmw=Mmw*9.81;
Fmb=Mmb*9.81;
syms T1 T2 T3 a1 a2 a3
sol=solve([T1*cos(a1)-T2*cos(a2)==0,...
    T2*cos(a2)-T3*cos(a3)==0,T1*sin(a1)+T2*sin(a2)-Fmw==0,...
    Fmb-T2*sin(a2)-T3*sin(a3)==0,lAB*cos(a1)+lBC*cos(a2)+lCD*cos(a3)==dX,...
    lAB*sin(a1)+lBC*sin(a2)+lCD*sin(a3)==dz],[T1,T2,T3,a1,a2,a3]);
Thanks
