We want to design a C-clamp with a T-section similar to the one shown in Figures P4-26a and b. The depth of the section will be 31.8 mm as shown but the width of the flange (shown as 28.4 mm) is to be determined. Assuming a uniform thickness of 3.2 mm and a factor of safety against static yielding of 2, determine a suitable value for the width of the flange if the C-clamp is to be made from 60-40-18 ductile iron and the maximum design load is 1.6 kN.
