After ‘operating for a while, the shaft becomes stuck at e point C, a distance L below the ‘surface. Its important to determine this distance inorder to knovr how to resolve the situation, EG1109 students are consulted and they propose pulling the shat upwards ‘nd laking some measurements. The oil company’ agrees and jacks the top of the sha et ‘A upwards. When point B on the shaft at the ground surface level rises above the ‘ground by 30cm, they find thatthe segment AB (originally 6m long) has elongated by Szam. As a member of the EG1109 consultants, determine the position of C, where the shal is stuck. (Assume that contact between th shaft and th soli fHietonless above point C.
