Question: A triple - threaded power screw, used in a screw jack, has a nominal diameter of 5 0 mm and a pitch of 8 mm

A triple-threaded power screw, used in a screw jack, has a nominal diameter of 50 mm and a pitch of 8 mm . The threads are square and the length of the nut is 48 mm . The screw jack is used to lift a load of 7.5 kN . The coefficient of friction at the threads is 0.12 and the collar friction is negligible. Calculate:
(i) the principal shear stress in the screw body;
(ii) the transverse shear stresses in the screw and the nut; and
(iii) the unit bearing pressure.
State whether the screw is self-locking.
