Question 1 Report

The pitch of a screw jack is 0.45cm and the arm is 60cm long. If the efficiency of the Jack is 75/π %, calculate the mechanical advantage.
Answer Details

P = 0.45cm, L = 60cm, Eff = 75/π%

VR (Screw system) = 2πrP = 2πLP
M.A = Eff% × VR100 = 75π × 1100 × 2π × 600.45 = 75 × 800300 = 200
