he pipe cutter is clamped around the pipe P. If the wheel
Chapter 6, Problem 6-90(choose chapter or problem)
The pipe cutter is clamped around the pipe P. If the wheel at A exerts a normal force of \(F_{A}\) = 80 N on the pipe, determine the normal forces of wheels B and C on the pipe. Also compute the pin reaction on the wheel at C. The three wheels each have a radius of 7 mm and the pipe has an outer radius of 10 mm.
