What do the numbers for a screw mean?
Oh, dude, like, the numbers on a screw are just telling you how big it is. It's not a secret code or anything, just a way to know if it's gonna fit the hole you're trying to fill. So, if you see a screw that says, like, 4-40, it means it's a size 4 screw with 40 threads per inch. It's not rocket science, just screw science.
What is the hole number pie?
3.14159.......
A square number is a number?
yes because square numbers have to be hole numbers to be square
How do you find the square footage of a hole?
You can't, a hole has volume and thefore needs to be measured in cubic footage. Square footage is a measure of area not volume.
What is the best way to hang a heavy picture on a wall with no stud behind it?
If the wall is made of drywall/sheetrock/gypsum wallboard, use one or more screw anchors. This is a plastic cone that comes with a screw. You drill a hole, push in the plastic cone, and use a screw driver to thread the screw into the anchor. Typically the instructions are on the package of screw anchors. Larger anchors will hold more weight, but the size of screw anchor you can use is limited by the thickness of the drywall, so the thickness of the drywall limits the weight it will support. It might be possible to use multiple anchors, but that might require some calculation and planning. If the wall is not drywall but plaster and lathe, you can use a lag bolt. This is a long threaded rod with a spring-loaded folding wing-like thing that threads on the end. To use it you drill a hole large enough to accommodate the folded wing. Push it through the hole, and the wings expand and grip the inside of the wall. Turn the screw to pull it up tight. For a brick or stone wall, there are special masonry drill bits to drill a hole, and anchors of plastic or metal that go in the hole. These expand to grip the wall when a matching screw is driven in. If the wall is not too thick, you could use a lag bolt like above. For a wood wall, simple wood screws should work. For smooth tile or glass, consider any epoxy adhesive.

What size pilot hole should be drilled for a 3/8 lag screw?
A 5/32 inch pilot hole should be drilled for a 3/8 lag screw.
What size pilot hole should be drilled for a 1/4 lag screw?
A 3/16 inch pilot hole should be drilled for a 1/4 inch lag screw.
What is tapped hole?
That is hole that has been drilled, then had a thread 'tapped' into it so you can insert a machine screw or bolt.
What is a self-tapping screw and how is it different from regular screws?
A self-tapping screw is a type of screw that creates its own thread when driven into a material, such as metal or plastic, without the need for a pre-drilled hole. This makes it different from regular screws, which require a pre-drilled hole to be inserted into the material.
What is the purpose of a counterbored hole in engineering and how is it different from a regular drilled hole?
A counterbored hole in engineering is used to create a recessed area at the top of a drilled hole. This allows for a screw or bolt head to sit flush with the surface. It is different from a regular drilled hole because it has a wider diameter at the top to accommodate the head of the fastener.
What size pilot hole should be drilled in wood for a 1/2 lag screw to ensure proper installation?
A 1/4 inch pilot hole should be drilled in wood for a 1/2 inch lag screw to ensure proper installation.
