Thepitch of the screw in a screw jack shown in the figure is 5 cm and the diameter of thehead of its vertical shaft is 30 cm. If the length of the rod PQ fixed to the shaft is 55 cm, find the effort required to raise a load of 10.56 quintal using the jack. (Take 1 quintal = 100 kgwt)

Answer»

Solution :(i)Expression for M.A. of a screw jack
(II) Find the effective length of the rod (lever) using the INFORMATION.
(iii) Find the distance covered by theeffort for one complete rotation of the SHAFT.
(iv) Find the mechanical advantage of the screw jack.
(v) Relate M.A. with L and E.
(VI) E = 120 kgf
