Answer:

Inclined plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically, a screw is a narrow inclined plane that is wrapped around a cylinder. Like the other simple machines a screw can amplify force; a small rotational force (torque) on the shaft can exert a large axial force on a load.

A screw is a cylinder with a head (solid top) at one end and a pointed tip (like a nail) at the other end.

The mechanical advantage of the screw depends on the space between the threads and the length (and thickness) of the screw. The closer the threads are, the greater the mechanical advantage. It is easier to drive a screw into an object if the thread spacing is smaller.
