Q$5.$

Two bars are used to support a load. When unloaded, $AB$ is $5$ in$.$ long, $AC$ is $8$ in$.$ long, and the ring at A has coordinates $(0,0).$ If a load $P$ acts on the ring at $A,$ the normal strain in $AB$ becomes $lo{n}_{AB}=0\mathrm{.}02in./$in$.,$ and the normal strain in $AC$ becomes $lo{n}_{AC}=0\mathrm{.}035in\frac{.}{i}n.$ Determine the coordinate position of the ring due to the load.
