, where = tan
Turning moment of the screw to raise the load = tan( + )
NB: if > , after removal of effort P, the load will come down without any rotational
moment on the nut. But if < , the load will remain in position after removal of the
effort. i.e. (self locking).
The effort required to lower the load will be = tan( - ).
While the turning moment required to lower the load = tan( - )
