If in the crane of Fig. 140 the crank arm has a length of 1 m.,and the gear wheels A, B, C, and D have-respectively 12, 48, 12, and 00cogs, while the axle overwhich the chain runs hasa radius of 10 cm., what isthe mechanical advantageof the crane ? 9. If a worm wheel(Fig. 135) has 30 teeth,and the crank is 25 , while the radius ofthe axle is 3 cm., what isthe mechanical advantageof the arrangement ? 10. A small jackscrewhas 20 threads to the a lever 3^ in. longwill give what mechanicaladvantage? (Use ) 11. The screw of a letter press has 5 threads to the inch, and thediameter of the wheel is 12 in. If there were no friction, what jires-sure would result from a rotating force of 20 lb. applied to the wheel ? 12. Eight jackscrews, each of w
