The angle of a countersunk screw |
2020-01-19 |
|
From Barbie: I need to be able to verify the angle used for the head of a countersunk screw.
I have the diameter of the head, diameter of the shank and height between the
two. I assume it would be considered a frustum.
For example:
A standard 90 degree metric flat head screw in an M2 diameter has a head diameter of 3.65mm,
the actual thread diameter is 1.98mm and the height of the head is 1.20mm.
How can I prove that it is a 90 degree angle? Answered by Harley Weston. |

|
From Gonzalo: This is not precisely a maths question, but it is formulated based on my maths curiosity. Fidgetting with my new graphic calculator, I started graphing things and had the idea to graph $y=(-2)^x.$
The result surprised me, and I thought a little bit about it, stored it on the back of my brain, and promised myself to look deeper into it someday. Answered by Harley Weston. |
