8-45 The pliers are made from two steel parts pinned
together at A. If a smooth bolt is held in the jaws and a
gripping force of 50 N is applied at the handles,
determine the state of stress developed in the pliers at
points B and C. Here the cross section is rectangular,
having the dimensions shown in the figure.
