The car jack is operated by turning the horizontal threaded shaft at A. The threaded shaft fits into a mating threading collar at B. As the shaft turns, points A and B move closer together or farther apart, thereby raising or lowering the jack. The pitch of the threaded shaft is p = 0.1 in, the mean radius of the thread is r = 0.2 in, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the threaded shaft and the mating collar at B is 0.15. What couple must be applied at A to rotate the shaft at a constant rate and raise the jack when it is in the position shown if the load L = 1400 lb?
