How to Calculate Pressure Exerted by C in a Lever and Fulcrum Configuration?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the pressure exerted by C in a lever and fulcrum configuration, one must consider the forces involved, specifically using Newtons or pounds-force (lbf). The relationship between the applied force and the reaction force can be calculated with the effective length of the bell crank's upper arm. The discussion highlights the need for consistent units, with a recommended pressure of 20 MPa translating to approximately 2900 psi, leading to a required force of 208,800 lb for the piston to achieve the necessary compression. The toggle mechanism's effect is crucial, as it amplifies force when the lever approaches a specific angle, impacting the overall pressure exerted on the piston. Understanding these dynamics is essential for ensuring the mechanism can handle the required loads without deformation.
