A Philips head screwdriver, unlike a flat head screwdriver is slightly tapered to the point and has a characteristic + point or nose.
Screws with a "Phillips head" have an inverse + profile rather than a single groove of a normal screw.
This means that when the screwdriver is inserted into the screw is catches at 4 points (along the +), rather than along a single line. If you add up the surface area of the groove of a Philips screw to a similar (similar size) single groove screw you will notice that is is much larger; this means that the screwdriver has more surface area on the screw head and that it is divided over 4 contact points. This allows the Philips screw to be tightened with more torque than a traditional screw before the head shears off.

A force of 12 N is applied to the handle of a screwdriver being used to pry the lid off a paint can As the force moves through a distance of 0.3 m the screwdriver does 3.2 J of work on the lid What?
The work done by the screwdriver on the lid is 3.2 J. The formula for work is Work = Force x Distance. Therefore, rearranging the formula: Work / Distance = Force. Thus, Force = 3.2 J / 0.3 m = 10.67 N.
A force of 11 N is applied to the handle of a screwdriver being used to pry off the lid of a paint can. As the input force moves through a distance 0.3 m the screwdriver does 3 J of work on the lid. W?
The work done by the screwdriver on the lid is 3 J, which is calculated as the product of the force applied (11 N) and the distance moved (0.3 m). This means that the work done is equal to the force multiplied by the distance in the direction of the force (W = Fd). The work done transfers energy to overcome the resistance holding the lid in place.
