Force Required to Lower Load by Screw Jack given Weight of Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Force Required = Load*(Coefficient of Friction*cos(Helix Angle)-sin(Helix Angle))/(cos(Helix Angle)+Coefficient of Friction*sin(Helix Angle))
F = W_l*(μ_f*cos(ψ)-sin(ψ))/(cos(ψ)+μ_f*sin(ψ))
This formula uses 2 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)

Variables Used

Force Required - (Measured in Newton) - Force Required is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity.
Load - (Measured in Newton) - Load is the weight of body lifted by screw jack.
Coefficient of Friction - Coefficient of Friction(μ) is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it.
Helix Angle - (Measured in Radian) - Helix Angle is the angle between any helix and an axial line on its right, circular cylinder, or cone.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load: 53 Newton --> 53 Newton No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Friction: 0.4 --> No Conversion Required
Helix Angle: 25 Degree --> 0.4363323129985 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

F = W_l*(μ_f*cos(ψ)-sin(ψ))/(cos(ψ)+μ_f*sin(ψ)) --> 53*(0.4*cos(0.4363323129985)-sin(0.4363323129985))/(cos(0.4363323129985)+0.4*sin(0.4363323129985))

Evaluating ... ...

F = -2.96185214685012

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-2.96185214685012 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-2.96185214685012 ≈ -2.961852 Newton <-- Force Required
