Question

A machine bolts that are 12 mm long. The bolts are considered acceptable if they are within 0.2 mm of 12 mm. a. What is the longest the bolt can be and still be acceptable? SHOW WORK PLEASE!!!!!

Answer 1

The longest bolt that can be acceptable is
`(12+0.2)=12.2\ mm`

Explanation:

To find the acceptable measure of the bolt we have to add and subtract the clearance limit.

a.For longest measure of the bolt we will perform addition.

And for shortest measure of the bolt we will go with subtraction.

So the longest acceptable measure of the bolt
`=12\ mm +0.2\ mm = 12.2\ mm`

Hope there question b is missing.

b.

The shortest measure of the bolt
`=12\ mm -0.2\ mm = 11.8\ mm`

The acceptable measure of the bolt are:

For longest it is
`12.2\ mm` and for shortest it is
`11.8\ mm`
