Two identical 3 in. major-diamter power screws (single-threaded) with modified square threads are used to raise and lower a 50-ton sluice gate of a dam. Quality of construction and maintenance (including lubriation) are good, resulting in an estimated friction coefficient of only 0.1 for the screw. Collar friction can be neglected, as ball thrust bearings are used. Assuming that, because of gate friction, each screw must provide a lifting force of 26 tons, what power is required to drive each screw when the gate is being raised at the rate of 3ft/min? What is the corresponding rotating speed of the screws?
