A screw is a combination of two simple machines: A wheel (the screw rotates about its axis) and an inclined plane (the thread of the screw)

It is also used when the experiment goes wrong. ("Screw this, I'm going home")

moment of force (torque) i.e. the turning effect of a body(here,screw jack)= force applied X perpendicular distance of force from the axis of rotation.

so in order to produce maximum turning effect of the screw jack by a force, the force is applied at a point on the body for which the distance from the axis is maximum so that the given force provides maximum torque to turn the screw jack.

Thus,the screw jack is provided with a long arm.
