Question

A bolt is to be made a 2.0 CM long with a tolerance of 4%. Set up an equation to solve for the shortest and longest bolt length. Show your original equation and the process used to find the shortest and longest bolt length.

Answer 1

x=2

sx = 2 - (2 x 0.04)

sx = 2 - 0.08

sx = 1.92

lx = 2 + (2 x 0.04)

lx = 2 + 0.08

lx = 2.08
