Load on power Screw given Effort Required in Lowering Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Load on screw = Effort in lowering load/((Coefficient of friction at screw thread-tan(Helix angle of screw))/(1+Coefficient of friction at screw thread*tan(Helix angle of screw)))
W = P_lo/((μ-tan(α))/(1+μ*tan(α)))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)

Variables Used

Load on screw - (Measured in Newton) - Load on screw is defined as the weight (force) of the body that is acted upon the screw threads.
Effort in lowering load - (Measured in Newton) - Effort in lowering load is the force required to overcome the resistance to lower the load.
Coefficient of friction at screw thread - Coefficient of friction at screw thread is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of the nut in relation to the threads in contact with it.
Helix angle of screw - (Measured in Radian) - Helix angle of screw is defined as the angle subtended between this unwound circumferential line and the pitch of the helix.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Effort in lowering load: 120 Newton --> 120 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of friction at screw thread: 0.15 --> No Conversion Required
Helix angle of screw: 4.5 Degree --> 0.0785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

W = P_lo/((μ-tan(α))/(1+μ*tan(α))) --> 120/((0.15-tan(0.0785398163397301))/(1+0.15*tan(0.0785398163397301)))

Evaluating ... ...

W = 1702.93881263263

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1702.93881263263 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1702.93881263263 ≈ 1702.939 Newton <-- Load on screw

Define Effort?

The effort is the work that you do. It is the amount of force you use times the distance over which you use it. The resistance is the work done on the object you are trying to move. Often, the resistance force is the force of gravity, and the resistance distance is how far you move the object
