The lead screw of a lathe has Acme threads of 60 mm outside diameter and 8 mm pitch. It supplies drive to a tool carriage which needs an axial force of 2150 N. A collar bearing with inner and outer radius as 30 mm and 60 mm respectively is provided. The coefficient of friction for the screw threads is 0.12 and for the collar it is 0.10. Find the torque required to drive the screw and the efficiency of the screw.
