In a screw jack, the effort required to lift the load is given by(where W = Load lifted, α = Helix angle, and φ = Angle of friction.)

Question: In a screw jack, the effort required to lift the load is given by(where W = Load lifted, α = Helix angle, and φ = Angle of friction.)
[A].

P = W tan (α – φ)

[B].

P = W tan (α + φ)

[C].

P = W tan (φ – α)
