### Bolt Cutter Force Analysis

**Objective:**
Determine the force each set of bolt cutters exerts on bolt D, the magnitude of the force pin C exerts on each handle, and the force in member BF.

**Symmetry:**
Each set of bolt cutters is symmetric about the horizontal centerline.

#### Diagram Explanation:

1. **Bolt Cutters 1 and 2:**
   - Both bolt cutters display forces applied along a symmetric path.
   - The applied forces are indicated by arrows and labeled as 64 lb on both handles.

2. **Measurements:**
   - Distance from pivot to force on handles: 19 in.
   - Sections AB and DE are each 2 in.
   - Section CD for Bolt Cutters 1: 2 in.
   - Section CD for Bolt Cutters 2: 3 in.
   - Sections EF and BF are both shown with varied distances.

#### Force Identification:

- **Bolt Cutters 1:**
  - \( F_{\text{bolt}} \): Force exerted by bolt cutter on bolt D, identified as compression.
  - \( F_C \): Force exerted by pin C on each handle.
  - \( F_{BF} \): Force in member BF, identified as tension.

- **Bolt Cutters 2:**
  - Similar force calculations as Bolt Cutters 1, but differing section lengths between components.

#### Input Fields:

- Each diagram provides input fields for calculating magnitudes of forces (\( F_{\text{bolt}} \), \( F_C \), and \( F_{BF} \)).

- **Select Force Sense:**
  - Compression or tension (pre-selected options).

This analysis involves understanding mechanical advantage and the application of lever principles to determine forces exerted by each component of the bolt cutters. Use rounded intermediate values for precise calculations.
