I’m trying to plot a few forces that chance because of an angle. I’ve defined the changing angle as beta which is a matrix. Than i’m calcultating two different angles which matter for the calculation of the forces. And for these forces i need, for example, the cosine of angle alpha. The angle of alpha changes between 90 and 0 degrees. But if i take the cosine of this matrix it returns weird numbers. Negative numbers, like -0.4481. It should start at 90 and cosine 90 equals 0 but it doesn’t. Does anyone know what is going on?
Fad = 240

beta = 0:1:180; % Angles
gamma = 180 – beta;
alpha = 0.5.*gamma;

w = cos(alpha); % Cosine and tanges of said angles
x = cos(gamma);
y = tan(alpha);
z = tan(gamma);

Fvloer1 = Fad./w; % Calculations of different forces
Fvloer2 = Fvloer1.*x; % Almost all forces are matrices except for Fad which is a constant.
Fl = Fad.*y;
Ft = Fvloer2.*z;

figure % Plots of these forces against an angle
