An L-shaped elastic member ABC with slender arms AB and BC of uniform cross section is clamped at end A and connected to a pin at end C. The pin remains in continuous contact with and is constrained to move in a smooth horizontal slot. The section modulus of the member is same in both the arms. The end C is subjected to a horizontal force 𝑃 and all the deflections are in the plane of the figure. Given the length AB is 4π‘Ž and length BC is π‘Ž, the magnitude and direction of the normal force on the pin from the slot, respectively, are
A
3P/8, downwards
B
5P/8, upwards
C
P/4, downwards
D
3P/4, upwards
