A 3/4-6 ACME threaded screw is used to lift a 2 kN load. Note that this has a pitch of 1/6. The mean collar diameter is 4 cm. Find the torque to lift and to lower the load using a ball-bearing thrust washer. What are the efficiencies? Is it self locking? You will need to look up ACME thread size standards online for this problem
