3-A toggle device is being used to compact scrap steel shavings, as illustrated in the figure. Design the two links of the toggle to be steel, AISI 5160 OQT \( 1000,\left(S_{y}\right. \) \( =151 \mathrm{ksi}, \mathrm{E}-=30 \mathrm{Msi} \) ) with a circular cross section and pinned ends. The force \( P \) required to crush the shavings is \( 5000 \mathrm{Ib} \). Use \( \mathrm{N}=3.50 \).
