The large mechanical tongs shown are used to grab and lift a thick 7500-kg steel slab
Chapter 6, Problem 6.163(choose chapter or problem)
The large mechanical tongs shown are used to grab and lift a thick 7500-kg steel slab HJ. Knowing that slipping does not occur between the tong grips and the slab at H and J, determine the components of all forces acting on member EFH. (Hint: Consider the symmetry of the tongs to establish relationships between the components of the force acting at E on EFH and the components of the force acting at D on DGJ.)
