Question

As shown in the figure, a square-threaded screw is used in a vise to
exert a pressure of 2 tons. If the screw is double-threaded and has a pitch
of 0.25 in. and a mean radius of 1.5 in., determine the torque that must be
applied at B to create this pressure. Assume the coefficient of friction to be
0.15.
