For force P on the handle of the toggle clamp the clamping force C increases to large values as the angle θ decreases. For P =  21 lb find the relationship between C and θ and plot it as a function of θ from θ =  4° to θ =  42°. Knowing that the shaft slides freely in its guide, answer the questions in lbs.
