What do you call an inclined plane that's wrapped around a post?

A SCREW!!!!!
 
 The most common place we've seen a screw is in a hardware store.



Look at this spiral staircase.
 
We know that stairs are inclined planes
So, when an inclined plane is wrapped around a post, it's a screw!




Did you know that the screw exists in many more places?



Here are some examples:
 Maybe it's on your jar of vegetables?

Look! A light bulb is a screw!

What about the drink you had at the basketball game? 
The top is a screw, too!

It's a screw we use to drill into the ground.
