Each of the elements aij signiies the change in concentration of reactor i due to a unit
change in loading to reactor j. Thus, the zeros in column 4 indicate that a loading to
reactor 4 will have no impact on reactors 1, 2, 3, and 5. This is consistent with the
system coniguration (Fig. 12.3), which indicates that low out of reactor 4 does not feed
back into any of the other reactors. In contrast, loadings to any of the irst three reactors
will affect the entire system as indicated by the lack of zeros in the irst three columns.
Such information is of great utility to engineers who design and manage such systems.

Solution. This type of structure can be described as a system of coupled linear alge-
braic equations. Free-body force diagrams are shown for each node in Fig. 12.5. The
sum of the forces in both horizontal and vertical directions must be zero at each node,
because the system is at rest. Therefore, for node 1,
g FH 5 0 5 2F1 cos 30° 1 F3 cos 60° 1 F1, h (12.3)
g FV 5 0 5 2F1 sin 30° 2 F3 sin 60° 1 F1, y (12.4)
for node 2,

for node 3,
g FH 5 0 5 2F2 2 F3 cos 60° 1 F3, h (12.7)

where Fi, h is the external horizontal force applied to node i (where a positive force is
from left to right) and F1, y is the external vertical force applied to node i (where a
positive force is upward). Thus, in this problem, the 1000-lb downward force on node 1
corresponds to F1, y 5 21000. For this case all other Fi, y’s and Fi, h’s are zero. Note that
the directions of the internal forces and reactions are unknown. Proper application of
Newton’s laws requires only consistent assumptions regarding direction. Solutions are
negative if the directions are assumed incorrectly. Also note that in this problem, the
forces in all members are assumed to be in tension and act to pull adjoining nodes to-
gether. A negative solution therefore corresponds to compression. This problem can be
written as the following system of six equations and six unknowns:

Notice that, as formulated in Eq. (12.9), partial pivoting is required to avoid division
by zero diagonal elements. Employing a pivot strategy, the system can be solved using
any of the elimination techniques discussed in Chap. 9 or 10. However, because this
problem is an ideal case study for demonstrating the utility of the matrix inverse, the LU
decomposition can be used to compute
