Three rubber bands are shown before and after being stretched. Before stretching, bands A, B and C have lengths of 75 mm, 115 mm, and 165 mm, respectively. After stretching, band A has a length of 90 mm, while bands B and C each have a length of 180 mm. Determine the maximum normal strain in the bands.
