Re: Screw Task
does the screw itself have to move back and forth or can it be like a wing nut on a threaded rod moving up and down?

Rule 4.d says: "Turn a screw so that its tip stays in contact with an object..."sj wrote:does the screw itself have to move back and forth or can it be like a wing nut on a threaded rod moving up and down?
That seems to indicate that the screw itself has to move and the screw's linear movement pushes the object.

Re: Screw Task
What would be an example of this type of simple machine? Also could this double up as the wedge one by having a screw push the wedge between two objects?

Re: Screw Task
Yep, so long as that pointy tip is staying in contact with an object, and you move that object by spinning your bolt.robinc wrote:The bolt is a giant screw (it has a pointy tip and doesn't go into a nut). Is that ok?
