The triple- threaded screw is made to rotate 10 revolutions for this the screw advances to 90 mm. What is the pitch of screw? Correct Answer 3 mm

90 mm advance = 10 revolutions, 1 revolution = 9 mm advancement. Since it is triple threaded it advances to 3 times of pitch of the screw. Therefore the pitch of the screw is 9mm /3 = 3 mm.
