Consider the pivot of unit thickness subject to force P per unit thickness at its vertex (Fig. 3.10a). Determine the maximum values of and on a plane a distance L from the apex through the use of given by Eq. (3.43) and the formulas of the elementary theory: (a) take a=15°; (b) take a=60°. Compare the results given by the two approaches.
