Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A power screw is used to lift a 1000 N load. If the coefficient of friction is 0.1 and the lead of the screw is 0.02 m, calculate the required torque to raise the load.

💡 Hint: Check your formulas for torque based on friction and lead!

Challenge 2 Hard

If the efficiency of a power screw is 80%, how much work input is necessary to do 500 J of work output?

💡 Hint: Think about how efficiency calculates into output versus input work!
