Question

Draw free-body diagrams of all members of the vice-grip pliers in the position shown in Fig. objective of the analysis will be to relate the forces, $F_{II}$, exerted by the user's hand to the gripping forces, $F_G$, exerted on the workpiece. The pliers mechanism can be regarded as being parallel to the horizontal plane, so there are no gravity loads in the plane of action.

Step 1

From the figure, we can identify three main members: the upper jaw (member A with adjusting screw), the lower jaw (member B with handle), and the pin connection (C) at the pivot point. Show more…
