If α denotes the lead angle and φ, the angle of friction, then the efficiency of the screw is written as
(a) tan(α − φ)/tanα
(b) tanα/tan (α − φ)
(c) tan(α + φ)/tanα
(d) tanα/tan (α + φ)
I got this question in semester exam.
My enquiry is from Efficiency of Self Locking Screws topic in section Friction of Machine Kinematics
