Prob 1. The clamp shown below is used to clamp (hold together) two pieces of wood. The top of the clamp has a rectangular cross section as shown on the right. The clamp is tightened such that the wooden pieces have a compressive force of 2 kN. (a) Determine the internal forces acting on the section a-a' (b) Determine the bending stress (o) at the top and bottom of the cross section (c) Determine the maximum shear stress (7). 100- 80 x-section a-a' 15 10 all lengths in mm
