The device shown in the figure consists of a pointer ABC supported by a spring of stiffness

Question:

The device shown in the figure consists of a pointer ABC supported by a spring of stiffness k = 800 N/m. The spring is positioned at distance b = 150 mm from the pinned end A of the pointer. The device is adjusted so that when there is no load P, the pointer reads zero on the angular scale.
If the load P = 8 N, at what distance x should the load be placed so that the pointer will read 3° on the scale?
B
