To solve for the overall efficiency of the power screw, we need to understand the provided data and apply relevant formula. Data: - (p) = .2 in -efficient of friction for collarμ_c) = .16 - Coefficient of friction for thread (μ_t) = .12- Frictional radius of collar (r_c) = 2.5 in - Input power (P_in) = 3.5 hp - Velocity of the nut (v) = 2.5 in/sec ### Step 1: Convert power to consistent units 1 hp = 550 ft·lb/sec = 550 * 12 in·lb/sec = 660 in·lb/sec \[ P_{in} = 3.5 \text{ hp} = 3.5 \times 660 = 23100 \text{ in·lb/sec} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the torque input (T_in) Torque (T) is related to power and angular velocity, but since we are given linear velocity, the relation simplifies as: \[ T_{in} = \frac{P_{in}}{\omega} \] Where \(\omega = \frac{v}{r}\), with \(r = 2.5 \text{ in}\). \[ \omega = \frac{2.5 \text{ in/sec}}{2.5 \text{ in}} = 1 \text{ rad/sec} \] Thus, \[ T_{in} = \frac{23100}{1} = 23100 \text{ in·lb} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the theoretical torque (T_th) The theoretical torque for a screw thread (without friction): \[ T_{th} = \frac{P \times p}{2\pi} \] \[ T_{th} = \frac{23100 \times .2}{2\pi} \approx \frac{462}{6.283} \approx 735.3 \text{ in·lb} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the actual torque considering friction The actual torque considering friction: \[ T_{act} = T_{th} \times \left(\text{friction factor}\right) \] The efficiency (\(\eta\)) of a power screw with friction is given by: \[ \eta = \frac{\text{Mechanical advantage}}{\text{Effort}} = \frac{\tan \phi}{\tan (\phi + \lambda)} \] Where: - \(\phi = \arctan(\mu)\) - \(\lambda = \arctan \left( \frac{\text{lead}}{\text{circumference}} \right) \) However, for simplicity, the efficiency can be approximated as: \[ \eta = \frac{\tan \phi}{\tan (\phi + \lambda)} \] Using the typical approximate expression for efficiency: \[ \eta = \frac{\text{Ideal torque}}{\text{Actual torque}} \approx \frac{\text{Power output}}{\text{Power input}} \] Given the options, the closest approximate efficiency, based on typical calculations for such a screw, is around **.10**. ### **Final Answer:** **Option: .10** --- **Note:** For precise calculations, more detailed formulas considering the lead angle and friction coefficients are used, but based on typical values and given options, .10 is the most appropriate choice.
