Q.1) A 120 lb. block is raised by a massless screw-activated wedge as shown below. The single-threaded screw has a mean radius of 0.5 inch and advances 0.2 inch for each complete turn. The coefficient of kinetic friction for the screw threads is 0.35, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for all contact surfaces of the block and the wedge is 0.4. Calculate the moment M which must be applied to the handle of the screw to raise the block at a constant speed.
