syms k_1 theta1 theta0 M gama l
eqn=(gama*l)/2==(k_1*(sin(theta1) + cos(k_1*(gama - theta1))*sin(theta0) - cos(theta0)*sin(theta1) + cos(theta1)*sin(theta0) - M*sin(theta1) - k_1*sin(k_1*(gama - theta1)) - M*cos(k_1*(gama - theta1))*sin(theta1) + k_1*cos(theta0)*sin(k_1*(gama - theta1)) + M*k_1*sin(k_1*(gama - theta1)) - M*k_1*cos(theta1)*sin(k_1*(gama - theta1))))/(M*(2*k_1 - sin(k_1*(gama - theta1))*sin(theta1) + 2*k_1*cos(k_1*(gama - theta1))*cos(theta1) - k_1^2*sin(k_1*(gama - theta1))*sin(theta1)))
seqn=subs([eqn])
solq=solve(seqn,theta1)
Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with the code because it was giving me empty matrix?

Why must there be something wrong? Does every problem have an analytical solution? (No.)
The empty result is a signal that it found no analytical solution.

I ran Maple on this overnight, about 11 hours. Maple got up to 33 gigabytes of memory on it. I had to abend the process to get back control of my machine.
If there is any hope of solving it analytically, it would have to involve some change of variables.
