120, force acting parallel to the plane. If the angle of inclination is increased to 15 0, then
the effort required is 3500N. Find the weight of the body and the coefficient of friction.

lifted through a distance of 170 mm. Find the work done in lifting the load and of the
screw jack when i) the load rotates with the screw and ii) load rests on loose end which
does not rotate with the screw

thread is 5 mm and the angle of V is 550. The bolt is tightened by a nut whose mean
radius of bearing surface is 25mm. If the coefficient of coefficient of friction
