The pitch of a screw jack is 0.45cm and the arm is 60cm long. If the efficiency of the Jack is 75/π %, calculate the mechanical advantage.

A

400

B

300

C

200

D

150

Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: C

P = 0.45cm,

L = 60cm,

Efficiency(eff) = 75/π%

VR Screw system =2πr
P
=2πL
P

 

M.A=Eff% × VR
100
=75
π
×1
100
×2π × 60
0.45
=75 × 800
300
=200

Hence, M.A = 200
