What happens here

A screw is demonstrated through the action of a bench vise. A person tightens the vise by rotating a handle, which turns a screw mechanism. This screw applies clamping force to securely hold a metal bar in place on a workbench. The screw's threads convert rotational motion into linear motion and multiply force, allowing for strong, precise clamping with relatively little effort.

Goal: Demonstrate the clamping power of a screw mechanism.
