The specialized plumbing wrench shown is used in confined areas (e.g., under a basin or sink). It consists essentially of a jaw BC pinned at B to a long rod. Knowing that the forces exerted on the nut are equivalent to a clockwise (when viewed from above) couple of magnitude 135 lb ? in., determine (a) the magnitude of the force exerted by pin B on jaw BC, (b) the couple M0that is applied to the wrench.
