A Mechanical Freelancing Hub

We require simple engineering calculations for a two-piece POM-C plastic snap-fit clip that attaches to a PMMA acrylic component, along with a hinge connecting two acrylic parts.

Required Deliverables:

• Calculate the clip’s snap-separation force in Newtons (N) and pounds-force (lbf), with a simple explanation of the required pulling force.
• Recommend interference-fit dimensions for secure, hand-removable attachment to the acrylic part, including estimated sliding forces relative to snap strength.
• Recommend hinge pin clearance and tolerances for smooth rotation without binding or excessive friction.
