As I recall , 3 full threads is minimum engagement length
The pitch of a screw thread is a measure of how closely the threads are spaced. It can be expressed as the number of threads per unit length (32 threads per inch, for example) or as the distance between two threads ( such as .8 mm).
Thread pitch defines the distance between adjacent threads on the screw's thread profile. For example, a screw with a 1/4-20 thread designation in the United States has a 20 threads per inch pitch, meaning there are 20 complete threads within a 1-inch length of the screw. Similarly, a metric screw with an M8x1.25 thread designation has a pitch of 1.25 millimeters, indicating that there is 1.25 millimeters of linear distance between each thread. The thread pitch is a critical parameter when selecting screws and nuts because it determines how fine or coarse the threading is and plays a significant role in the mechanical advantage, torque transmission, and application suitability of threaded fasteners.
§ Screw threads have better compression strength than other threads. § Due to low thread angle there is no radial pressure on nut. § Due to smaller angle, the lead of screw is less.
It is easier. The question is not complete enough to be answered. The word EASIER needs to be further defined. so the question should read: What is easier to [add information here]; more screw threads or less screw threads?
knuckle threads are used in railway carriage couplings.
no

a screw with closely spread threads
the threads determine the depth the screw should move

screw thread are single threads which means they are not double
A screw is a fastener that is similar to a nail, but it has threads.
Assuming it is the LENGTH of the screw that is 1_7/8: (2/3 * 1.875)/16 = .078 inches
The hole that you put a screw into is referred to as a "tapped hole". The rib-like things in the hole are called "threads" or, more specifically, "internal threads" as opposed to the external threads on a screw.
The threads of the screw as the threads are turned by the screwdriver .
The threads are what make it work. As you will know if you have tried to use a screw with stripped threads, it is useless. That is because a screw is a simple machine built from an even simpler machine: the inclined plane. The threads are an inclined plane wound around the outside of the screw, and are what change the twisting motion into a lifting motion.
The main parts of a screw include: Head: The top part of the screw that is usually slotted or Phillips-shaped for turning with a screwdriver or drill. Shank: The cylindrical body of the screw that has threads wrapped around it. Threads: The spiraled ridges on the shank that grip and secure materials when the screw is turned. Point: The sharp or tapered end of the screw that facilitates easy penetration into materials. Root: The bottom of the threads, where they meet the shank. Length: The measurement from the tip of the screw to the bottom of the head. These components work together to fasten materials by turning the screw into them
