An engineer pulls a control handle to operate a machine. The handle is attached at the upper end of a rigid shaft, at D. The lower end of the shaft is pinned at A. A nylon rope joins to the shaft at B, and is secured at C. In a separate test, it was found that the rope stretched by 1% when a tensile force of 100 N was applied. The engineer pulls with a force F = 82 N. How far does point D of the handle move?
