The bowstring has an unstretched length of 850 mm and cross-sectional area of 400 mm^2. It is recorded that the stress on the upper segment of the bowstring is 50 MPa. See figure. Determine the (a) average normal strain in the string, (b) the applied pull of the archer on the arrow, and (c) the tension acting on the lower segment of the string.
