Question: The spring clamp shown is used to hold block E in the corner. The force in the spring is: F = k ( l -

The spring clamp shown is used to hold block E in the corner. The force in the spring is:
F=k(l-l_(0))
where l is the present length of the spring (the length from D to C ), l_(0)=15mm is the unstretched length
of the spring, and k=5000(N)/(m) is the spring constant. Determine all forces acting on member ABC of
the spring clamp and the force exerted by the spring clamp on block E.
