### Problem Description

When an axial load is applied to the ends of the bar shown in the figure, the total elongation of the bar between joints A and C is 0.12 in. In segment (2), the normal strain is measured as 1,250 µin./in. Assume \( L_1 = 30 \) in. and \( L_2 = 79 \) in.

Determine:
(a) The elongation of segment (2).
(b) The normal strain in segment (1) of the bar.

### Diagram Description

A horizontal bar is depicted subjected to an axial load \( P \) at each end. The bar is divided into two segments: 

- **Segment (1):** Length \( L_1 = 30 \) in.
- **Segment (2):** Length \( L_2 = 79 \) in.

The bar extends from point A to point C, passing through point B (the junction between segments (1) and (2)).

### Given Data

- Total elongation between points A and C: \( \delta_{total} = 0.12 \) in.
- Normal strain in segment (2): \( \epsilon_2 = 1,250 \) µin./in.
- Length of segment (1): \( L_1 = 30 \) in.
- Length of segment (2): \( L_2 = 79 \) in.

### Determine

(a) The elongation of segment (2), \( \delta_2 \).

(b) The normal strain in segment (1), \( \epsilon_1 \).

### Answers

(a) \( \delta_2 = 0.09875 \) in.

(b) \( \epsilon_1 = 708.33 \) µin./in.
