The phrase "I'd rather be a hammer than a nail" suggests a preference for being proactive and in control rather than passive and vulnerable. A hammer symbolizes strength, action, and the ability to shape one's environment, while a nail represents being subjected to outside forces. This sentiment emphasizes the desire for empowerment and the ability to take charge of one's own destiny. Ultimately, it reflects a mindset of resilience and determination.
the long handle provides a greater lever effect
A screw driver is more high-tech than a regular nail driver or hammer. A screw is a more holding tool than a nail. It has metal ridges around it to hold it in place. A screwdriver is used for putting a screw in an area to fastening to objects and/or parts together
because the threads hold them into place while as a nail works its way out at a point of time !
You can't compare them it's like apples and oranges. Javascipt is mainly geared for client-side execution in a web browser. c is an old language and is sort of the parent of all modern programming languages including javascript, but it would be used in a totally different scenario, eg. you could use it for application development on a server or desktop, rather than in an online scenario.
A screw holds wood together better than a nail because the threading of a screw provides a horizontal grip on the wood. Nails are driven down into wood and have nothing but the pressure of the wood to keep them attached, which means it is easier to pull a nail straight out of a board than a screw.
The movie Yoyage of the Yes (1973)
A nail costs 0.05
The force of the hammer is much greater than the force of the nail. Gravity pulls down the hammer, hits the nail, and the nail forces up, but the force of gravity wins over the force pulling on the nail.
The way to use the back of a hammer is to place a sticking up nail in the back corner of the the hammer, than place the head of the hammer on the ground. finely pull the handle of the hammer away from the nail.
A thumbtack is a small nail with an unusually large head, that is designed to be pushed into place by a thumb, rather than by a hammer, as would be done with a regular nail. Thumbtacks are normally used to hold pieces of paper in place, on a cork board, wall, etc.
the long handle provides a greater lever effect
The longer handle uses more distance so you need less force.
If you measure a nail in centimeters, you are determining its length using the metric system. Centimeters are a unit of measurement that is smaller than a meter, commonly used for measuring smaller objects.
The best technique for securely fastening wood using a wood nail is to pre-drill a hole slightly smaller than the nail diameter, then hammer the nail into the hole at a slight angle to ensure a tight grip.
A claw hammer is a pair of levers perpendicular to each other. When you exert force on the handle of the hammer, it transfers it's work to the second lever, or the head of the hammer. That then creates work at the claw, where you are pulling that nail with much greater force than you could exert without the hammer.
Pure copper nail (and not plated) can actually kill a tree if the nail is long enough, usually the longest nails are the best nails, you'd have to put hammer a nail into the roots and eventually the tree will get sick and die. than you'd have to remove the nail and the tree.
A club/lump hammer is a large headed hand hammer used where brute force rather than accuracy is required, eg Hitting masonry during demolition.
