normal and shear stresses on a 60 cm steel cantilever beam with Young's modulus 200 GPa and Poisson's

P applied to the free end of the cantilever beam that is a channel section with the dimensions as follow;
C channel size; h = 25 cm, b = 7.6 cm, t1 = 1.2 cm, and t2 = 0.8 cm.
Assuming that the excitation voltage (voltage source) used for the Wheatstone bridge was 1 V, and
gauge factor of the strain gauges used in the Wheatstone bridge was 2.08.
