Question: A vertical screw with single-start square threads (50 mathrm{~mm}) mean diameter and (10 mathrm{~mm}) pitch is raised against a load of (6 mathrm{kN}) by means

A vertical screw with single-start square threads \(50 \mathrm{~mm}\) mean diameter and \(10 \mathrm{~mm}\) pitch is raised against a load of \(6 \mathrm{kN}\) by means of a hand wheel, the boss of which is threaded to act as a nut. The axial load is taken by a thrust collar that supports the wheel boss and has a mean diameter of \(70 \mathrm{~mm}\). If the coefficient of friction is  0.15 for the screw and  0.20 for the collar, find the suitable diameter of hand wheel. Assume that a person can apply a force of \(150 \mathrm{~N}\) by each hand.
