The load cup of a screw jack is made separate from the head of the spindle to

A enhance the load carrying capacity of the jack
B reduce the effort needed for lifting the working load
C reduce the value of frictional torque required to be countered for lifting the load
D prevent the rotation of load being lifted

Correct Answer: prevent the rotation of load being lifted

For the prevention of the rotation of load being lift, the load cup of a screw jack is made separate from the head of the spindle.

In a screw jack, the effort required to lift the load is given by (where W = Load lifted, α = Helix angle, and φ = Angle of friction.)
A P = W tan (α - φ)
B P = W tan (α + φ)
C P = W tan (φ - α)
D P = W cos (α + φ)
In a screw jack, the effort required to lower the load W is given by
A P = W tan (α – ɸ)
B P = W tan (α + ɸ)
C P = W tan (ɸ – α)
D P = W cos (α + ɸ)
In a screw jack, the effort required to lift the load W is given by (where $$\alpha $$ = Helix angle and $$\varphi $$ = Angle of friction)
A $${\text{P}} = {\text{W}}\tan \left( {\alpha - \varphi } \right)$$
B $${\text{P}} = {\text{W}}\tan \left( {\alpha + \varphi } \right)$$
C $${\text{P}} = {\text{W}}\tan \left( {\varphi - \alpha } \right)$$
D $${\text{P}} = {\text{W}}\cos \left( {\alpha + \varphi } \right)$$
