The positioning device locks the sliding panel C into place relative to the fixed panel D, to which the device is attached. Pressing at E rotates the moving part of the device clockwise about O, retracting the pin AB from the hole in panel C. If a force
N is required to begin clockwise rotation of the device, determine the moment M about point O exerted by the internal coiled spring S.
