If you want to get multiple answers use vpasolve function. Set the number of answers you want yo get and the code will pick some then in a random way.
syms lambda
Mt=1; % The value of your variables
m=1;
L=1;
lt=1;
eqn= 1+(cos(lambda)*cosh(lambda))+((lambda*Mt/(m*L))*(cos(lambda)*sinh(lambda)-sin(lambda)*cosh(lambda)))-((lt*lambda^3)/m*L^3)*(cosh(lambda)*sin(lambda)+sinh(lambda)*cos(lambda))+ ((Mt*lt*lambda^4)/m^2*L^4)*(1-cosh(lambda)*cos(lambda)) ==0;
for n = 1:50
vpasolve(eqn,lambda,'random',true)
end
this example gives you 50 answers. The answer before gives the first it finds.
