How does friction affect screws?

Friction holds screws in. It also makes insertion harder. With wood screws, one should drill a hole in the wood first. Then, the fibers will twist with the screw, and oppose removal more strongly than insertion. In machine screws, the softer washer distributes the force of the screw, permitting higher frictions in the threads without damaging the joined materials.


Can anyone describe two different methods in which friction is used to hold materials together?

In a cotton thread, the only thing holding the cotton fibers together in the form of a thread is friction. The twisting of the thread helps to create a self-reinforcing friction. A second type is the use of screws to hold things together. While machine screws can have nuts on them, wood screws are held in the wood only by the friction of the screw against the wood in which it is embedded. Since a screw is driven in under pressure, rather than fitting perfectly, there is a lot of friction. If a screw fit perfectly, with no force needed to screw it in, it would unscrew just as easily, and would require a nut to hold it in place.


What are the 2kinds of friction?

Static Friction and Kinetic Friction. Static Friction is what friction that slows you down. While Kinetic friction is sliding friction.


What do lubricants do to friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction?

Lubricants reduce friction by replacing sliding friction with fluid friction.

How is friction an evil?

Friction makes us hard to walk on slopes, it wears out the materials whether they are screws, ball bearings or soles of shoes. Friction also produces heat.


How is a clarinet connected to friction?

You can argue that when air passes through the body and holes it creates friction. Also, the whole mechanism when interacting with rods, screws and other keys can create friction.

In what kinds of mechanisms are ball screws typically used?

Ball screws are typically used in aviation. They are also found in missiles, in cars with power steering and machinery tools. They are used when low friction is required.


How do you change the brake light bulb on a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo?

The tail light assembly is held on by 3 screws and a friction peg. Two of the screws are in the black grill-looking part on the side of the tail light assembly. The third screw is recessed between the bottom of the assembly and the top of the bumper. A screwdriver with a long shaft will be needed for that bottom screw. Once the screws are out, pry the assembly from the top. There is a friction peg at the top that must be "popped out", and then the entire assembly will be come out enough for you to get to the bulbs. To replace the tail light assembly, align the friction peg at the top, push it into place, and then align the screwholes. Replace the screws and you're done.

When I took out the 2 screws to replace the 98 explorer brake light it did not come out easy why?

That is normal. It is the system used by Ford on many of their signal lamps to hold them on. They are long, screw-like posts that look like this >>>>>>>>>>>>> It is just a friction fit and the two screws keep the actual lamp assembly secured.
