Virtual Work Method

The lever force F moves down by 200 . Hence, the work done by it is

F (200 ) .

Point C moves down to C'. Hence, the work done by the punch force is

-Fp (CC').

Let us calculate CC'.

AC=2(200) cos 600

AC'=2(200) cos (600-)

Hence,

CC'=AC'-AC=400 (cos 600cos dq + sin 600sin )-400 cos 600

For very small virtual displacement,

cos =1 and sin =
