The handle of the sector press is fixed to gear G, which in turn is in mesh with the sector gear C. Note that AB is pinned at its ends to gear C and the underside of the table EF, which is allowed to move vertically due to the smooth guides at E and F. If the gears only exert tangential forces between them, determine the compressive force developed on the cylinder S when a vertical force of 40 N is applied to the handle of the press.
