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 δ = 0.214 mm. Find normal stress σ and strain ε in the brake cable.
