Description
Referring to figure 1, write a user friendly Python code to find member forces (F12,F23,F13)
and joint reactions (V1, H1 and V3) of simple 3 node(1,2,3) determinate truss analysis to find
for given coordinates {(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(x3,y3)}of joints and joint force F with inclination .

Inputs
User of your program should be able to change following inputs.
1. Node coordinates {(x1,y1),(x2,y2),(x3,y3)}
2. Force F and its inclination .
Outputs
Users of your program should get following results in well formatted output report.
1. Values of member forces (F12,F23,F13)
2. Nature of member forces (Compressive or Tensile)
3. Reactions at node-1 (V1, H1) and node-3 (V3)
4. Plot of triangular truss according to its coordinates.
