Question:

The hand clamp is constructed using a square-threaded screw having a mean diameter of 36 mm, a lead of 4 mm, and a coefficient of static friction at the screw of μ_s = 0.3. To tighten the screw, a force of F = 20 N is applied perpendicular to the handle. Determine the clamping force in the board AB.
