Question

ANSWER ASAP . Which of the screws below requires the least amount of effort force to turn?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is screw x

Explanation:

A screw is an inclined plane that spirals around a cylinder. To help visualize this, imagine a playground slide that sprirals around a central pole. The threads on a screw are the outside edge of a plane that wraps around the screw's central axis.

The closer together a screw's threads are, the longer the inclined plane. The longer the inclined plane, the less effort force required to turn the screw. The screw in image X requires the least amount of effort force to turn because its threads are the closest together.

Answer 2

Answer:

Screw X

Explanation:

• In the screw x, the threads of the inclined plane are closer together. Therefore this screw has a greater mechanical advantage and hence it is easier to turn than the other screws.
• Therefore,it takes less force to penetrate the wood with the screw X.
