A screw is a simple machine that converts rotational motion into linear motion. It consists of a helical ridge or thread wrapped around a cylindrical shaft. When the screw is turned, the helical thread moves along the axis of the cylinder, allowing the screw to be driven into materials, such as wood or metal, or to lift objects. Screws are widely used in various applications, including fastening, lifting, and anchoring.
