A single vertical force P is applied to a short steel post as shown. Gages located at A, B, and C indicate the following strains:
![]()
Knowing that E = 29 × 106 psi, determine (a) the magnitude of P, (b) the line of action of P, (c) the corresponding strain at the hidden edge of the post, where x = –2.5 in. and z = –1.5 in.
