Clamps like the one shown are commonly used in woodworking applications. This clamp has the dimensions given above, and its jaws are 48 mm wide (in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the picture). The screws of the clamp are adjusted so that there is a uniform pressure of 120 kPa being applied to the workpieces by the jaws. Find the force carried in each screw.
Forces: (Denote tension forces with positive values; compressive forces with negative values.)
