For the clamping device shown calculate the force in Member BE if F=133, A=288, and B=322. Also solve for the clamping force "P" exerted at Point A. Include Complete FBD.

Transcribed Image Text:### Transcription of Figure 1: Manual Lever Mechanism
Figure 1 displays a manual lever mechanism used for applying force onto a workpiece. Below is a detailed explanation of the components and dimensions as depicted in the illustration:
- **Handle and Force Application (F):** A hand is shown applying force (F) downward on a handle.
- **Lever Components:**
- **A mm and B mm:** These are variable dimensions indicating parts of the lever arm where specific measurements can be adjusted as needed. "A" denotes the horizontal distance from the pivot to the point of load, while "B" is the horizontal distance from the pivot to the handle.
- **30° Angles:** These indicate the pivot angles at points where the lever bends, ensuring mechanical advantage and proper force application.
- **Pivot Points:**
- **C and B:** These are the main pivot points on the lever arm with links that transfer applied force.
- **D and E:** These serve as secondary pivots connecting lever segments and base.
- **Force Transmission (P):** A red arrow (P) shows the direction of force applied onto a workpiece positioned beneath a clamp. The force is transferred vertically downwards, aided by the lever mechanism.
- **Dimensions:**
- **70 mm and 30 mm Measurements:** These are fixed measurements on the lever mechanism, indicating lengths and spacing between pivots along the lever.
This entire lever mechanism shows a practical application of mechanical advantage principles, where a small amount of force applied at the handle (F) generates a larger force (P) at the workpiece, enhancing operational efficiency.
