A pair of 80-N forces is applied to the handles of the small eyelet squeezer. The block at A slides with negligible friction in a slot machined in the lower part of the tool. Neglect the small force of the light return spring AE and determine the compressive force P applied to the eyelet. Engineering Mechanics-Statics-7th edition-J.L. Meriam & L.G.
