a For a Screw Jack, state the mathematical expressions to determine the following parameters:
(iii) Maximum Efficiency
(i) Helix Angle (ii) Torque to lift load
b) An electric motor driven power screw moves a nut in a horizontal plane against a force of 75 kN at a
speed of 300mm/min. The screw has a single square thread of 6 mm pitch on a major diameter of 40

mm. The coefficient of friction at the screw threads is 0.1. Estimate power of the motor.
c) The pitch of 50 mm mean diameter threaded screw of a screw jack is 12.5 mm. The coefficient of
friction between the screw and the nut is 0.13. Determine the torque required on the screw to raise a
load of 25 kN, assuming the load to rotate with the screw. determine the ratio of the torque required to
raise the load to the torque required to lower the load and also the efficiency of the machine. 7mks
