Efficiency of Screw Jack Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Efficiency = tan(Helix Angle)/(tan(Helix Angle+Angle of Friction))*100
η = tan(ψ)/(tan(ψ+θ))*100
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 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

Efficiency - Efficiency is the ratio of mechanical advantage to velocity ratio.
Helix Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Helix Angle is the angle between any helix and an axial line on its right, circular cylinder, or cone.
Angle of Friction - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Friction is the angle of a plane to the horizontal when a body placed on the plane will just start to slide.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Helix Angle: 12.9 Degree --> 0.225147473507226 Radian (Check conversion here)
Angle of Friction: 75 Degree --> 1.3089969389955 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η = tan(ψ)/(tan(ψ+θ))*100 --> tan(0.225147473507226)/(tan(0.225147473507226+1.3089969389955))*100

Evaluating ... ...

η = 0.839816990900808

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.839816990900808 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.839816990900808 ≈ 0.839817 <-- Efficiency
