Questions 7-9(30 points) A torsion spring is used in a hand-held spring clamp. The jaws of the clamp are 1.5 inches from the pivot. The spring angle is 45 when the clamp is closed and 0 when the clamp is open. Use units of torque/rev for torsional spring constant. Include leg length in Na calculations.
