Question

Will a 9/32 inch diameter pin fit into a reamed hole with a diameter of 0.278 inch? (Do not round off your answer and express it in fraction

form)

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a circle = π r^2

Reamed hole area = π 0.278^2= 0.242794846

Pin Area: π ([9/32]/2)^2= 0.062126221

Diameter = 2 radius

Radius = diameter/2

Since

Hole Area > pin area

The pin will fit into the reamed hole.
