PROBLEM 2. A bracket is loaded as shown in the figure. In order to determine the location and weight of a particular hanging load P, a strain rosette is attached to the top of the bracket near the wall (assume strain gages are at the wall). The rosette has three gauges, each are 120° apart as shown in the diagram. The bracket material is steel, E = 210 GPa and v = 0.3. When the weight, P, is placed at a distance, s, on the rectangular bracket arm, the three gauges measure the following strains, e,-224.8 microstrain, e,- 118.3 microstrain, e=132.9 microstrain. From these three strains, determine the load, P, and the distance, 20 mm 12 mm 150 mm 120 120
