Chapter 8 Problem 8-81

Question

If a horizontal force of P = 100 N is applied perpendicular to the handle of the lever at A, determine the compressive force F exerted on the material. Each single square-threaded screw has a mean diameter of 25 mm and a lead of 7.5 mm. The coefficient of static friction at all contacting surfaces of the wedges is \(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}\) = 0.2, and the coefficient of static friction at the screw is \(\mu’_{\mathrm{s}}\) = 0.15.

Solution

Step 1 of 9

First, we'll need to determine the axial force in the screw

Note that since there are two screws, the moment equilibrium equation of the screw is

From here we can express  as:

                                …(1)

The moment in the screw is:

 is radius
