Chapter 37, Problem 1A

Use the Table of BlockThicknesses of a Customary Gage Block Set under the heading "Description of Gage Blocks" in Unit 37 to determine a combination of gage blocks for 3.7642".

To determine

The combination of gage block.

Answer to Problem 1A

The combination of blocks are $0.1002^{″}$, $0.144^{″}$, $0.120^{″}$, $0.400^{″}$ and $3.000^{″}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Dimension is $3.7642\text{in}$.

Calculation:

  

From above table:

The combination of the blocks are $0.1002^{″}$, $0.144^{″}$, $0.120^{″}$, $0.400^{″}$ and $3.000^{″}$.

Add all the dimensions of the blocks.

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow 0.1002^{″}+0.144^{″}+0.120^{″}+0.400^{″}+3.000^{″}\\ \Rightarrow 3.7642^{″}\end{array}$

Thus, the combination of blocks are $0.1002^{″}$, $0.144^{″}$, $0.120^{″}$, $0.400^{″}$ and $3.000^{″}$.

Conclusion:

The combination of blocks are $0.1002^{″}$, $0.144^{″}$, $0.120^{″}$, $0.400^{″}$ and $3.000^{″}$.
