Thank you very much. That was exactly what ı was looking for.

So if there was no friction between the screw and the surface, when we would turn the screw upside down it would fall. And naturally, it would turn while falling. So gravity pulled it, not turned it but the screw turn. Wich was what we were trying to find out.

Today I and my physics teacher argued about that. I think that in optimal conditions applying force to the top of a screw can turn it and generate torque. ( On a surface) Can you please answer and send an article that mentions that? Because i wasn't able to find one. Thanks already and sorry for...
