Why am I only receiving one value for theta3 and alpha3, do I need to use a "for" loop instead?

theta2=linspace(0,360);

force=zeros(size(theta2));

force (theta2>=0 & theta2<180)=100;

force(theta2>=180 & theta2<=360)=-2000;

theta3=-asind((a*sind(theta2)/b))+180;

omega3=(a*cosd(theta2)*omega2)/(b*cosd(theta3));

alpha3=(a*alpha2*cosd(theta2)-a*omega2^2*sind(theta2)+b*omega3^2*sind(theta3))/(b*cosd(theta3));

/ is not the division operator in MATLAB. A/B is like inner product of A and the pseudoinverse of B. It is for solving systems of linear equations of the form A = x*B

The division operator is ./

Thank you, I don't have a lot of practice at MATLAB.
