To find: Smallest and largest diameters that are acceptable.
Answer to Problem 35HP
Largest diameter =
Smallest diameter =
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Actual value of diameter
Given percent of error of no more than
Percent error
Where
From given information
Actual value of diameter
Given percent of error of no more than
As we need to find the smallest and largest possible values of diameters.
It means that the diameter will decrease by
So,
Smallest possible value of diameter is when percent of error
Let us assume smallest diameter be
Absolute value = calculated value
Therefore,
Percent error
Therefore
Smallest diameter =
So,
largest possible value of diameter is when percent of error
Let us assume largest diameter be
Absolute value = calculated value
Therefore,
Percent error
Therefore
Largest diameter =
