Question

The nail cutter consists of the handle and the two cutting blades. Assuming the blades are pin connected at $B$ and the surface at $D$ is smooth, determine the normal force on the fingernail when a force of 1 lb is applied to the handles as shown. The pin $A C$ slides through a smooth hole at $A$ and is attached to the bottom member at $C$
