Ideal Effort to Raise Load by Screw Jack Calculator

Calculate Ideal Effort to Raise Load by Screw Jack





Formula

The formula to calculate the Ideal Effort is:

\[ P_o = W_{\text{load}} \cdot \tan(\psi) \]

Definition

Ideal Effort is the amount of effort it would take to build something if conditions were as they should be; there are no impediments of any kind, and you don't require any magic or miracles.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P_o = 53 \cdot \tan(0.4363323129985) = 24.7143058822096 \text{ N} \]
