### Problem Statement

In the figure, rigid bar ABC is supported by a pin at B and by post (1) at A. However, there is a gap of \( \Delta = 7 \, \text{mm} \) between the rigid bar at A and post (1). After load \( P \) is applied to the rigid bar, point C moves left by 9 mm. If the length of post (1) is \( L_1 = 1.65 \, \text{m} \), what is the average normal strain that is produced in post (1)? Use dimensions of \( a = 1.45 \, \text{m} \) and \( b = 0.80 \, \text{m} \). Use the correct sign conventions for normal strain.

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram shows a rigid bar ABC:
- The bar is pivoted at point B.
- Point C is near the right end where the load \( P \) is applied horizontally to the left.
- The bar has distances \( a = 1.45 \, \text{m} \) from the pivot at B to the support at A, and \( b = 0.80 \, \text{m} \) from the pivot at B to point C.
- A post (1) is located under point A with a gap \( \Delta = 7 \, \text{mm} \).

When load \( P \) is applied:
- Point C moves to the left by 9 mm.

### Calculation Input

Enter the average normal strain \( \varepsilon_1 \) in the box provided:
\[ \varepsilon_1 = \, \text{(input box)} \, \mu \varepsilon \]

### User Interface Description

- There is an input box where users can enter the calculated strain.
- Interaction buttons include "eTextbook and Media" and "GO Tutorial".
- Options to "Save for Later" and "Submit Answer" are provided with tracking for attempts.

### Notes

Users should:
- Ensure correct units of measurement.
- Apply sign conventions correctly for strain (tensile or compressive).
- Use given dimensions for accurate calculation.
