Which way does the nut come off a riding lawn mower?
Commonly counterclockwise. Most left-handed threaded fasteners will have some marking.
What is the disadvantage of threaded fasteners?
Well, most of the threaded fasteners used in general applications have the following disadvantages: 1. Continued exposure to vibration tends to loosen the fastener. 2. If the fasteners are not creep resistant, they will fail at elevated temperatures. 3. The sharp edges formed in the threads of the members acts as stress concentration regions and is undesirable. This is to some extent overcome by introducing a small radius at the crests and troughs of the threads.
Which individual was most responsible for development of America's Financial System?
Alexander Hamilton was most responsible for the development of America's financial system.
If you sold a car to an individual and they have problems with the car who is responsible?
if he bought it as is..he is.dealers are responsible for most of problems; but other than that..let the buyer beware
The individual who was most responsible for promoting African-American rights during the New Deal was?
Mary McLeod-Bethune
Would You Hire Someone Like You?
Yes, most definitely. I am a very responsible (I would say, overly responsible), hard-working, caring and honest individual. I know only a few people that are willing to work as hard as I do.

What are the most secure catches or closing links for necklaces and bracelets?
The most secure catches you can get for necklaces and bracelets are called fly fasteners. They are dual fasteners to make sure that your jewelry doesn't have a chance at falling off.
What is the difference between left-hand thread and right-hand thread?
The difference between left- and right-hand thread is that one is turned in a given direction to tighten the fastener, and the other is turned in the opposite direction to tighten the fastener. Let's look a bit more closely.Most fasteners with threads are turned clockwise to tighten them. (This is true for a nut, and for a bolt, you'd be looking at the head with the threads away from you.) These are right-hand threaded fasteners. These fasteners are turned counter-clockwise to loosen them, as you might have guessed. With left-hand fasteners just the opposite is true when tightening them or loosening them.We make left hand fasteners for special purposes. We'd have to have a reason to make "backwards" threads on a fastener, wouldn't we? We do, and most applications where we see left-hand threaded fasteners involve attaching rotating parts. A lawn mower blade is a good example, and by looking at the physics, it will become obvious.A lot of blades on lawn mowers attach to the shaft of the motor with a nut or a bolt. You know the machine we're talking about. The motor shaft points straight down, and the blade is a "cutter bar" with the ends sharpened. Anyway, if the motor on the machine turns clockwise (looking at the motor from the bottom where the blade is attached), using a fastener that turns clockwise to tighten it (a right-hand threaded fastener) sets the stage for a problem. Roll up your sleeves and look at the physics.When the motor starts, it "torques" the shaft clockwise. The blade and the fastener that hold the blade are likewise torqued clockwise. But consider mean old inertia. Inertia is the name we give to the phenomenon associated with objects that have mass (like the fastener that holds the blade on). If a body is at rest, it wants to remain at rest. If it's in motion, it wants to remain in motion. Force is necessary to change the motion of a mass because of inertia. That said, let's focus on the bolt that holds the blade on the motor.If the bolt on the motor shaft of a lawn mower turns clockwise and a right-hand threaded bolt holds the blade on, the inertia of the bolt when it's at rest makes it "resist" the torque of the motor, which is clockwise. The effect on the bolt is that the bolt's inertia makes it want to turn counter-clockwise. And counter-clockwise is the direction we'd turn the fastener to take it off. If the motor is started time and time again, it applies a little torque in the "wrong" direction to the bolt that holds the blade on. If the bolt ever becomes a bit loose, it can easily be spun off, which will cause the blade to detach. If the blade comes off while the machine is running at speed, that blade becomes a lethal projectile.Left-hand threads are applied in a number of applications, and most involve rotating parts. It costs more to make left-hand threaded fasteners because the volume in which they are produced is lower. The economy of scale makes the right-hand threaded fasteners cheaper, and they would be a manufacturers choice if not for the engineering considerations associated with the rotating parts of a machine. Left-hand threaded fasteners are made for a specific application where right-hand threaded fasteners would be a fool's choice.
What was the largest rescue of Jews from Hitler?
Wallenberg was the individual responsible for saving the most. The most saved in a single action may have been the evacuation of Danish Jews.
What is the difference between an internally threaded barbell and externally threaed barbell?
Internally threaded barbells are what most professionals recommend that you use due to the fact that it completely eliminates the possibility of shredding the fistula with the threads that would be on an externally threaded barbell.
What is a lug nut?
Most commonly, a lug nut is one of the fasteners that attach the wheels to a vehicle.
Where can one purchase hook and loop fasteners?
You can purchase hook and loop fasteners at most retail stores such as Walmart, Target, or Sears. You can also purchase them online from websites like Amazon and have them shipped directly to your house.
