The handle of the press is subjected to a force of 20 lb. Due to internal gearing, this causes the block to be subjected to a compressive force of 80 lb. Determine the normal-stress acting in the frame at points along the outside flanges A and B. Use the curved-beam formula to calculate the bending stress.
