The handle of the press is subjected to a force of $20\mathrm{lb}$. Due to internal gearing; this causes the block to be subjected to a compressive force of $80\mathrm{lb}$. - Find the radius of centroidal axis $\left(r_c\right)$, using the table of formulas for sections of curved beams - Find the radius of neutral axis $\left(r_n\right)$, using the table of formulas for sections of curved beams - Find the distance from centroidal axis to neutral axis (e), - Determine the normal stresses acting in the frame at points along the outside flanges $A$ and $B$, use the curved-beam formula to calculate the bending stress
