QUESTION:

A cylindrical hole is bored through a steel block, and a cylindrical piston is machined to fit into the hole. The diameter of the hole is \(20.00\pm0.01\mathrm{~cm}\), and the diameter of the piston is \(19.90\pm0.02\mathrm{~cm}\). The clearance is one-half the difference between the diameters. Estimate the clearance and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

ANSWER:

Answer:

Step 1 of 1:

In this question, we are asked to estimate the clearance and find the uncertainty in the estimate.

Let assume  is the diameter of hole  =

And is the diameter of the piston =

The clearance is one-half the difference between diameters.

Hence estimate of clearance =

 =
