ε_a = +800 με

ε_b = -200 με

ε_c = +625 με

The transformation equations for gages b and c have been reduced to:

- 200 με = (800 με) (0.25) + ε_{y} (0.75) + γ_{xy} (0.433)

+ 625 με = (800 με) (0.25) + ε_{y} (0.75) - γ_{xy} (0.433)

Solving simultaneously for ε_y and γ_xy yields:

ε_{y} = 16.667 με

γ_{xy} = 952.65 μrad
