The unthreaded part of a bolt ( or screw) enables 2 surfaces to be bolted tightly together. If it was threaded all the way you could never pull two surfaces exactly together without a small gap.

How big is a bit?

A bit is an atomic unit in computing. As such, it is the smallest numeric unit in computing, but since a bit is an abstract concept rather than a physical entity, it has no size or dimension as such. The key characteristic of a bit is its atomic nature. Unlike real atoms, it cannot be split into parts. (Note, however, that some encodings transmit multiple symbols to describe a single bit of information. The popular Manchester encoding is an example for such an encoding scheme. However, this does not mean that a bit is subdivided into smaller parts when transmitted with this encoding; a single bit remains indivisible even when represented by multiple symbols.)


What process causes a material to break due to excess stress?

Either deformation in a plastic material, or fracture in a brittle one. Oddly enough, a short bolt, tested to failure in a testing machine, will fail in the thread region due to the stress points inherent in the thread form. Long bolts on the other hand, will fail in the shank. This is usually explained by the idea that the bolt shank will break at its weakest point, and the longer the bolt, the more of the weak points, and the more of them, the weaker will be the weakest of them.


What simple machine are in a bolt?

A bolt is one of the easiest examples of a easy screw machine. It is a mechanical device that is used to preserve the two objects collectively with the assist of a washer and a nut. The bolt has thread cuttings all over its size that flawlessly suit the threads on the inner of a nut.

What is a threaded nail?

A 'threaded' nail is simply a nail with a spiral patterned edge on the protrusion An 'unthreaded' nail is a metal object with a flat head and just a protrusion with no particular 'spiraling' pattern A threaded nail can be 'unscrewed' out and an unthreaded can only be pulled out


What is an eye ring?

An eye ring or eye bolt is a metal bolt, where the unthreaded end is bent into a circle or ring. Normally used to secure rope or chain to a hard anchor. An example would be the eye rings that secure a swing sets chains to the frame of the swingset. At the other end of the chains is the seat of the swing. The eye bolts attach the chain to the metal frame.
