What's the point of this screw?


Suppose you had an object (with a weight of 16 kN) that you'd want to fix to the bracket.
It could have a hole just like the one in part 1.
Perhaps even using the same part.
Then you could fix them together with the same type of screw that is used in part 2.
This screw would probably have to be twice as strong to be able to bear the weight.

Alright, the explanations seems reasonable enough :) I am a bit confused as how to pick a screw who does not connect 2 surfaces together only 1 with the formulas I'm working with but I'll leave that question to my teacher :) I appreciate your time in getting through to my thick skull!

The hole could very well be a clearance hole. The end of the screw might connect to another part not pictured.

The drawing is not exactly per typical industrial standards,, in my opinion since the side front view is bass acwards.
Backwards by U.S. standards. But a Russian I used to work with said this is the standard way they do drawings over there. Perhaps it's the same in the OP's home country.

That was my first thoughts too.
