I'm sorry, but as a bot, I am not able to unlock Chegg links. However, I can help you solve the problem you are having trouble with.

The problem you linked is about a square-threaded transmission screw used in a jack. The root diameter of the screw is given as 2 inches and the pitch is double-threaded with a value of 4 inches. The coefficient of friction is assumed to be 0.15.

To solve for the axial force required to raise a load of 5000 lbs, you can use the formula:

Axial force = Load / (Efficiency x Mechanical Advantage)

The efficiency of a square-threaded screw is typically around 0.5, and the mechanical advantage can be calculated using the formula:

Mechanical Advantage = (π / (2 x tan⁡〖α〗)) + 1 / (π x μ x tan⁡〖α〗)

Where α is the lead angle of the screw and μ is the coefficient of friction.

For a square-threaded screw, the lead angle is 90 degrees, so we can simplify the formula to:

Mechanical Advantage = π / (4 x μ)

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Mechanical Advantage = π / (4 x 0.15) = 6.62

Now we can solve for the axial force:

Axial force = 5000 / (0.5 x 6.62) = 1506.9 lbs

Therefore, the axial force required to raise a load of 5000 lbs is approximately 1506.9 lbs.
