Coefficient of Friction of Screw given Effort in Lowering Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of friction at screw thread = (Effort in lowering load+Load on screw*tan(Helix angle of screw))/(Load on screw*sec(0.2618)-Effort in lowering load*sec(0.2618)*tan(Helix angle of screw))
μ = (P_lo+W*tan(α))/(W*sec(0.2618)-P_lo*sec(0.2618)*tan(α))
This formula uses 2 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)
sec - Secant is a trigonometric function that is defined ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine., sec(Angle)

Variables Used

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.
Effort in lowering load - (Measured in Newton) - Effort in lowering load is the force required to overcome the resistance to lower the load.
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.
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
Load on screw: 1700 Newton --> 1700 Newton 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

μ = (P_lo+W*tan(α))/(W*sec(0.2618)-P_lo*sec(0.2618)*tan(α)) --> (120+1700*tan(0.0785398163397301))/(1700*sec(0.2618)-120*sec(0.2618)*tan(0.0785398163397301))

Evaluating ... ...

μ = 0.145008569768295

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.145008569768295 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.145008569768295 ≈ 0.145009 <-- Coefficient of friction at screw thread
