The "C" clamp shown in the following figure has a rectangular cross section at location "a-a" with a height of 0.75 in and a width of 0.5 in. It is being used to clamp two pieces of wood together. If the maximum allowable normal stress at section "a-a" is 60 ksi, determine: a.) The largest force the clamp can exert on the wood. b.) The corresponding Mohr's circle at the location in section "a-a" where the largest normal stress occurs in the clamp material. c.) The largest shear stress that occurs in the clamp material at section "a-a".
