70% to passWhich of the figures illustrated would be LEAST desirable for use as a set screw? Illustration GS-0080
Afigure A
Bfigure F
Cfigure G
Dfigure L
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) figure A. Figure A represents a headless screw, which would be the least desirable for use as a set screw. Set screws are used to secure one object to another, and they require a head or some other feature that can be easily grasped to tighten or loosen the screw. A headless screw would be difficult to grip and adjust, making it unsuitable for use as a set screw. The other options, figures F, G, and L, all have features such as a head or a knurled surface that would make them more suitable for use as set screws compared to the headless design of figure A.
