Statics 6.87 - Determine the force that the jaws J of the metal cutters exert on the smooth cable C.

Question: Determine the force that the jaws J of the metal cutters exert on the smooth cable C if 100N forces are applied to the handles. The jaws are pinned at E and A, and D and B. There is also a pin at F.

why F ed has no horizontal component?

[@adykstra5748]

ED is a two-force member and is in equilibrium, so the forces at each of its ends are along the same line of action. Here's another video on the same topic that explains a similar problem with more on this question. czcams.com/video/zbdMwIPocTg/video.html (I know it's probably too late to help you, but maybe it will help the next person who's wondering this)

Love your video and clear speech, but I think your triangle is wrongly marked, the 20mm should be the Hypotenuse, not a Cathetus

[@LearningbyTeaching]

By slightly going over it, I believe you are right and it did not change our answers because the values of the Hypotenuse and adjacent in this case are very similar.

@@LearningbyTeaching Yes, haha, That's it's a FYI
