A rigid lever arm supported by a pin at A and vertical wire at B is subjected to a downward force P as shown in the figure. If the lever arm rotates about the pin at A through an angle of n/1,800 radians, (a) determine the elongation in mm of wire BD, (b) determine the magnitude of force P in kN if it is 600 mm away from the pin at A, and (c) determine the normal strain in mm/mm developed in wire BD. Use Awire = 75 mm², Ewire = 200 GPa. 300 mm B A 400 mm
