Good morning to all, I am trying to do this exercise for the examination of construction of machines, I attach the text and the procedure until I arrived. I schematized the jack as a reticular structure and made the balance of knots to find forces on the rods, treating the screw itself as an auction. my doubt is first of all if the procedure is correct and if it is plausible that the traction force on the screw is exactly equal to the load, and secondly on how I have to approach the sizing of the screw. I just tract it like a traction screw or as a maneuver screw? in case I cannot understand how to apply the formulas of the latter. Thank you very much in advance.
