Question
**Text Transcription:**

Q.1) A 120 lb. block is raised by a massless screw-activated wedge as shown below. The single-threaded screw has a mean radius of 0.5 inch and advances 0.2 inch for each complete turn. The coefficient of kinetic friction for the screw threads is 0.35, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for all contact surfaces of the block and the wedge is 0.4. Calculate the moment M which must be applied to the handle of the screw to raise the block at a constant speed.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram illustrates a setup where a 120 lb block rests on a wedge inclined at 15 degrees. The wedge is connected to a screw mechanism. As the screw turns, it moves the wedge horizontally, which in turn raises the block vertically. The problem requires calculating the moment (torque) needed to apply to the screw handle to lift the block at a constant speed, taking into account the friction between the surfaces involved.
