1(b). A Wheatstone bridge like square is formed of rigid rods each of length L and connected by pin joints (Fig. lb). Two identical elastic rods with area of cross section A and modulus of elasticity E form the diagonals. A tensile force P is applied to the structure as shown. The compression observed in the diagonal BD is Abd. Find the force P. You may consider change in lengths to be small as compared to the original lengths in order to simplify the answer using binomial theorem. (7)
