### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Screws and Threads**: A screw is a type of simple machine that consists of a cylindrical shaft with a helical ridge known as a thread. The threads can be thought of as a series of inclined planes wrapped around the screw. 2. **Defining a Steep Inclined Plane**: An inclined plane is a flat surface tilted at an angle to the horizontal. A steep inclined plane has a larger angle (theta) with the horizontal, making it more difficult to move an object up or down. 3. **Comparing the Two Screws**: In the question, we have two screws: - One screw has many threads that are close together. ...

A small ball is suspended from a point O by a light thread of length l. Then the ball is drawn aside so that thread deviates through an angle theta from the vertical and set in motion in a horizontal direction at right angles to the vertical plane in which the thread is located. What is the initial velocity that has to be imparted to the ball so that it could deviate through the maximum angle pi//2 in the process of motion?

A block A of mass m=5kg is attached with a spring having force constant K=2000Nm^-1 . The other end of the spring is fixed to a rough plane, inclined at 37^@ with horizontal and having coefficient of friction m=0.25 . Block A is gently placed on the plane such that the spring has no tension. Then block A is released slowly. Calculate elongation of the spring when equilibrium is achieved. Now an inextensible thread is connected with block A and passes below pulley C and over pulley D, as shown in figure. Other end of the thread is connected with another block B of mass 3kg . Block B is resting over a table and thread is loose. If the table collapse suddenly and B falls freely through 80//9cm , the thread becomes taut, calculate combined speed of blocks at that instant, and maximum elongation of spring in the process of motion. (g=10ms^-2) .
