Why square threads are preferred over V-thread for power transmission ?

. Square threads are preferred over V-thread for power transmission because of following points.  1) Square thread has the greatest efficiency as its profile angle is zero. 2) It produces minimum bursting pressure on the nut. 3) It has more transmission efficiency due to less friction. 4) It transmits power without any side thrust in either direction. 5) It is more smooth and noiseless operation.

Proportional limit (A): The stress is proportional to strain. Beyond point A, the curve slightly deviates from the straight line. It is thus obvious, that Hooke's law holds good up to point A and it is known as Proportional limit.
