Question

i just need part A) find the force the clamp exerts on the board at E if P=10 N
thanks.

2.) The clamp bellow is made up of massless members and all pin connections are frictioniess Please do your work on the provided scratch paper) a) Find the Force the clamp exerts on the board at E if P·ION (20 points) b) What is the Mechanical Advantage of this clamp? (5 points) c) Suggest 2 ways to improve the mechanical Advantage of this clamp. (5 points) For Full Credit Draw any Free Body Diagrams needed for your analysis of the Clamp You do not need to state your assumptions for your free body diagrams … 80 mm 160 mm 16 mm 12 mm 12 mm mm --'12 mm

Explanation / Answer

a. P = 10 N

then force because of the clamp = F

Force exerter by CB = T

force at D = Dx, Dy

Force at A = Ax, Ay

from force balance

P = Dy + T/sqroot(2)

Dx = T/sqroot(2)

F + Dy = Ay

Dx = Ax

form moment balance

P*(160 - 16) + Dy*16 = Dx*5

F*80 = Dx*12

hence

P = Dy + Dx

F + Dy = Ay

Dx = Ax

P*144 + Dy*16 = Dx*5 = F*80*5/12

144P + (P - Dx)*16 = 33.33F

144P + 16P - 16*F*80/12 = 33.33 F

160P = 140F

F = 160P/140 = 11.428 N
