Question N0.1
What is the reading on the following Vernier? What is its resolution?

Solution:

Smallest Divisonon main Scale 0.1

Least Count of Vernier Caliper = = = 0.005cms
Total number of divison∈vernier Scale 20
Reading on main scale = 11cm

Reading on Vernier scale = 6(0.005) =0.003cm

Reading Measured on Vernier Caliper = Main scale reading + (least Count)(Reading on Vernier)

Reading Measured on Vernier Caliper = 1.1 + (6)(0.005)

=1.13 cm

Question No.2
What is the reading on the following micrometer? What is its resolution?
Solution:

Smallest Divisonon main Scale 1

Least Count of Screw gauge = = = 0.02mm
Total number of divison∈circular Scale 50
Main Scale reading = 19mm

Circular scale reading = (48)(0.02)= 0.96

Reading Measured on Screw gauge = Main scale reading + (least Count)(Reading on circular )

Reading Measured on Vernier Caliper = 19 + (48)(0.02)

=19.96mm

Question No.3
A Vernier Caliper subdivides the smallest division on the main scale into 100 equal parts. If each

subdivision on the Vernier plate equals 0.001 in, what is the length of the smallest subdivision on the

main scale?

a) 100*0.001 mm b) 100 mm c) 0.1 mm d) a and c e) None of the above

Solution:

Answer = e) None of the above.

Question N0.4
A micrometer subdivides the smallest division on the main scale into 50 equal parts. If each

subdivision on the thimble equals 0.001 in, what is the length of the smallest subdivision on the

main scale?

a) 100*0.001 mm b) 0.001 in c) 50 equal parts d) None of the above

Solution:

Answer = d) = None of the above

Question N0.5
(SI units) A GO/NO-GO plug gage will be designed to inspect a 50.00 ± 0.20 mm diameter hole.

A wear allowance of 3% of the total tolerance band is applied to the GO side of the gage.
Determine (a) the nominal sizes of (a) the GO gage and (b) the NO-GO gage.

Solution:

(a)

The tolerance band is 0.4mm.

Wear Allowance = 0.03(0.4) =0.012mm

GO gage will inspect the minimum hole diameter = 50-0.20 = 49.8mm

As the gage wear, the dimension will decrease and allow unacceptable part, so the wear allowance is
added to it.

Nominal GO Size = 49.8+0.012 = 49.812mm

(b)

NO-GO gage will inspect the maximum hole diameter = 50+0.2 = 50.2mm

No wear allowance is added because this gauge should not fit in the hole and wear away.

Question No.6
A GO/NO-GO ring gage is needed to inspect the diameter of a shaft that is 50.00 ± 0.20

mm. A wear allowance of 3% of the entire tolerance band is applied to the GO side. Determine

(a) the nominal sizes of (a) the GO gage and (b) the NO-GO gage.

Solution:

(a)

The tolerance band is 0.4mm.

Wear Allowance = 0.03(0.4) =0.012mm

GO gage will inspect the maximum shaft diameter = 50+0.20 = 50.2mm

As the gage wear, the dimension will increase and allow unacceptable part, so the wear allowance is
subtracted to it.

Nominal GO Size = 50.2-0.012 = 50.188mm

(b)

NO-GO gage will inspect the minimum shaft diameter = 50-0.2 = 49.8mm

No wear allowance is added because this gauge should not fit in the hole and wear away.

Question No.7
 (USCS units) A sine bar is used to determine the angle of a part feature. The length of the sine
bar

= 8.000 in. The rolls have a diameter of 1.000 in. All inspection is performed on a surface plate.

In order for the sine bar to match the angle of the part, the following gage blocks must be stacked:

2.0000, 0.5000, 0.2500, and 0.0050. Determine the angle of the part feature.

Solution:

H = 2+0.5000+0.2500+0.0050 = 2.755 in

−1 H 2.755
A = sin ( ) = sin −1( ) = 20.14ᵒ

Question No.8
(SI units) A 150.00 mm sine bar is used to inspect a part angle that has a dimension of 35.0° ±

1.0°. The sine bar rolls have a diameter = 25.0 mm. A set of gage blocks is available that can

form any height from 10.0000 mm to 199.995 mm in increments of 0.005 mm. All inspection is

performed on a surface plate. Determine (a) the height of the gage block stack to inspect the

minimum angle, (b) the height of the gage block stack to inspect the maximum angle, and (c) the

smallest increment of angle that can be set up at the nominal angle size.

Solution:

(a)
H
sin( A) = = H= L * sin( A) = 150 sin(35−1) = 83.88mm
L

(b)

H= L * sin( A) = 150sin(35+ 1)= 88.17mm

(c)

H at Normal height =H= L *sin( A) = 150sin(35)= 86.036mm

 −1 H 86.036
Closet angel to nominal is at H = 86.03mm; A = sin ( ) = sin −1( ) = 34.9997ᵒ
L 150

At one increment above, H= 86.036mm+ 0.005mm = 86.05mm

−1 H 86.05
A =sin ( ) = sin −1( ) = 35.0063⁰
L 150

Smallest angle size = 35.0063ᵒ - 34.9997ᵒ = 0.007433⁰

Question No.9

(SI units) A 125.00 mm sine bar is to be used to inspect the inclination of one of the faces in a
part. While the tolerance on the part inclination is +/-0.002 degrees, its nominal value can be anything
from 5 to 85 degrees. If the smallest gauge block available is 0.01 mm thick, will this sine bar be of
sufficient angular resolution to determine if all possible nominal part inclinations are within
tolerance? Hint: Evaluate the resolution for inclination angles from 5 to 85 degrees and plot the
resolution as a function of this angle. The plot will give you a visual aid to help you answer the
question.

Solution:
Hypotenuse = 125mm
Height = 0.01mm
Range of Angel = 5-85 degree
Smallest gauge block available = 0.01mm thick
Tolerance allowed in inclination = +/-0.002 degree
Length of sin bar = 125mm

=12452.395

The result state that we need a fractional height gauge block that is block of 0.01 mm thick
gauge to get the desire accuracy
If we put 1089 blocks we get angle as sin t = 4.997944⁰
If we put 1090 we get angle as sin t = 5.002545⁰
Now we take 1088 block sin t = 4.993343⁰
The difference in angle at 1089 is =Ǿ = -0.0046⁰ and 0.004601⁰
Which is more than double the 0.002 tolerance specified so we need to use at least 300mm sin
bar for the purpose or use gauge block of thickness 0.004 or less approximately
Question No.10
Convert 0.025 in into mm.

Solution:
1inch =25.4mm
So 0.025in = 0.025*25.4 mm
= 0.635mm

Question No.11
Convert 25 mm into in.
Solution:
1
1mm = mm
25.4

So 25mm = 25*(0.03937) in
=0.984 in

Question No.12
Convert 10.25 degrees into radians; and π, π/2 and π/3 radians into degrees.

Solution:

10.25 degree to radian

1 degree = 0.01745 radians
So 10.25 degree = 10.25* 0.01745 radians =0.1788 radians

1 radians =57.3 degree

So π radians = 57.3*3.14 = 180⁰
S0 π/2 radians = 57.13* 3.14/2 = 90⁰
S0 π/3 radians = 57.13*3.14/3 = 60 ⁰

Question No.13
Convert 30.12345 degrees into degrees, minutes and seconds.

Solution:

d = int(30.12345°) = 30°
m = int((30.12345° - 30°) × 60) = 7'
s = (30.12345° - 30° - 7'/60) × 3600 = 24.42"
30.12345°
= 30° 7' 24.42"

Question N0.14
How many degrees are equivalent to one second of arc?

Solution:
Seconds of Arc. The second of arc is a unit of angle equal to 1/60th of one minute
of arc or 1/3,600 of one degree.
