1)    A lead screw and saddle arrangement is used to lift a load of 200 kg. The square thread has a pitch of 8 mm and a diameter of 30 mm. The coefficient of friction is 0.2. Calculate the torque needed to rotate the screw on raising and lowering.

2)    A screw Jack must raise a load of 500 kg. The thread has a pitch of 10 mm and a diameter of 50 mm. The coefficient of friction is 0.15. The effort is applied through a lever of radius 400 mm. Calculate the efficiency and the effort required to raise the load.
