How can I calculate the amount of input force I would need with each turn of the handle and the total amount of force to raise the books with the distance of 20 cm.
the handle has a circumference of 150 cm., the pitch is 2 cm. and the books weigh 10 kg.
would it be F=2pir or W*P/2pir
If i used a pulley system using the same books which one of these machines will have greatest mechanical advantage.

The easy question to answer is that the screw jack would have an overwhelmingly greater mechanical advantage than a simple 2 strand pulley system which has an advantage of 2 (where the rope goes down to a moving pulley attached to the weight). It is almost impossible to build a screw jack with that small a mechanical advantage.
The problem with giving you an answer about the formula is that you don't define what your symbols (F p i r P W) mean.
