2-15) A control linkage for an airplane consists of a 800 mm long rigid vertical member CB that is supported by a pin at C and a cable AB. When no force is applied on the linkage, the cable AB is unstretched and CB is vertical. When a horizontal force of P is applied to end B, it moves point B to B' and results in an average normal strain of AB=0.004mmmm in the cable AB. Determine the horizontal displacement of point B.
Note: CB is 'rigid' - this implies that CB does not deform and hence CB'=CB=800 mm
