Part of a control linkage for an airplane consists of a rigid member cb and a flexible cable ab. if a force is applied to the end b of the member and causes it to rotate by θ = 0.5°, determine the normal strain in the cable. originally the cable is unstretched.

Certain bacteria (such as aquaspirillum magnetotacticum) tend to swim toward the earth’s geographic north pole because they contain tiny particles, called magnetosomes, that are sensitive to a magnetic field. if a transmission line carrying 100 a is laid underwater, at what range of distances would the magnetic field from this line be great enough to interfere with the migration of these bacteria? (assume that a field less than 5% of the earth’s field would have little effect on the bacteria. take the earth’s field to be 5.0 * 10-5 t, and ignore the effects of the seawater.)
