A force P of 70 N is applied by a rider to the front hand brake of
a bicycle (P is the resultant of an evenly distributed pressure).
As the hand brake pivots at A, a tension T develops in the 460-
mm long brake cable (Ae = 1.075 mm2) which elongates by 6
=0.214 mm. Find normal stress o and strain ɛ in the brake
cable.
