Which is a more precise (or exact) measuring tool, the top-loading balance or the graduated cylinder?
With appropriate precision (significant digits), what is 2 + 2.1?.
Indicate the following technical tolerance requirements in Fig.3. a) The diameter of the middle cylinder is Odh7, use Envelope requirement; b) Cylindricity tolerance of d is 0.009mm, straightness of axis of od is $0.012mm; c) Total run-out tolerance of right end surfaces related to axis of Pd is 0.01 mm; d) The surface of od cylinder is obtained by the method of removing material, and the maximum allowable value of Rz is 0.4µm. All surfaces are obtained by the method of removing material, and all the roughness Ra allowable value is 6.4 pm.
