Answer:

a screw is a simple machine that works as a modified inclined plane. You can think of the thread of the screw as an inclined plane wrapped around the shaft of the screw. The slope of the screw is the distance for one complete rotation while the height of the inclined plane is the distance between the threads, known as pitch. The relationship between the pitch and circumference of the screw gives the mechanical advantage.

A uniform bar of length l and weight w is attached to a wall with a hinge that exerts a horizontal force hx and a vertical force

maria [59]

The answer is Hx = ½ Wsin θ cos θ
The explanation for this is:
Analyzing the torques on the bar, with the hinge at the axis of rotation, the formula would be: ∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
So, T = 1/2 W sin θ. Analyzing the force on the bar, we have: ∑fx = Hx – T cos θ = 0Then put T into the equation, we get:∑T = LT – (L/2 sin θ) W = 0
