A screw jack with a Tommy bar of length 12cm is used to raise a car through a vertical height of 25cm by turning the Tommy bar through 50 revolutions. Calculate the approximate velocity ratio of the jack [\(\pi = 3.142\)]

A.

21

B.

38

C.

48

D.

151

Correct answer is D

P = \(\frac{25}{50} = 0.5\)

V.R = \(\frac{2\pi D}{p} = \frac{2 \times 3.142 \times 12}{0.5}\)

= 151
