When you turn a screwdriver Is the result an increase in force or an increase in distance?
Both force and distance increase. You have to use force to turn the screw from point A to point B.
Is screw force the same as screw torque?
No, it is not. In basic physics, torque is equal to force multipled (cross multiplication in vector terms) by distance (the moment arm).
Why is jack screw provided with a long arm?
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.
What kind of mechanism is used to increase force?
A lever or a form of it such as a gear, screw, inclined plane, or pulley can be used to increase force at the expense of distance traveled and/or elapsed time.
What changes a weak circular force to a strong downward force?
screw

Why does a screwdriver allow you to turn a screw you couldn't turn by hand?
A screwdriver allows you to exert more torque on a screw. Torque is defined as the product of the force exerted and the distance from the center of rotation. Torque is essentially a rotational force. It is simple to increase torque, simply increase the distance from the center that the force is being applied, and there is greater torque without increasing your effort. The handle is made to be wide, so that a greater torque can be exerted. It is also much easier to grip a screwdriver than it is to grip a screw. That also plays a factor.
Are screw's wheel's pedals and brake handles of a bicycle force or distance magnifiers?
Screws and brake levers are force magnifiers while wheels are distance magnifiers.
Is a screw driver a force multiplier?
Force multiplier. It an inclined plane so a smaller force is acting over a greater distance
Why does winding road make it easier for vehicles to travel up a hill?
A winding road is an example of an inclined plane, or a screw. A screw is a simple machine that trades force off for distance.
What kind of mechanism is used to increase force?
A lever or a form of it such as a gear, screw, inclined plane, or pulley can be used to increase force at the expense of distance traveled and/or elapsed time.
Which has a greater input force a nail or a screw?
Which has a greater input force a nail or a screw
What is a disadvantage for a screw?
The disadvantage of the screw is you have to put greater distance.
Which is stronger a nail or a screw?
A screw will have more holding force. As far as shear force, a screw is made from harder material and will break where a nail will bend.
