Answer:
Explanation:
A lower triangular matrix is one whose elements above the main diagonal are zero meanwhile all the main diagonals elements and below are nonzero elements. This is one of the two existing types of triangular matrixes. Attached you will find a image referring more about triangular matrixes.

Answer:
P = 4.745 kips
Explanation:
Given
ΔL = 0.01 in
E = 29000 KSI
D = 1/2 in
LAB = LAC = L = 12 in
We get the area as follows
A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²
Then we use the formula
ΔL = P*L/(A*E)
For AB:
ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB
For AC:
ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)
⇒ ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC
Now, we use the condition
ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in
⇒ ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in
Knowing that PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P
we have
(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in
⇒ P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips
