Write a MATLAB program to solve the following static problem. Perform a hand
calculation of the same problem. Compare your results. Submit the program and its
results together with the results obtained from manual calculation. Creativity is mostly
welcome and deserved better marks.
Problem
A man tries to open a valve by applying the couple forces of F = 62.5 N to the wheel.
a) Determine the couple moment produced.
b) If the valve can be opened with a couple moment of 25 Nm, determine the
required magnitude of each couple force which must be applied to the wheel.
