Question4)a) In measuring the effective diameter of a 24 mm x 3 mm pitch metric plug screw gauge, the average of the readings taken were:
Micrometer reading over the standard and wires ... 12.9330mm
Micrometer reading over the gauge and wires ... 12.1100mm
Diameter of cylindrical standard =22.0010 mm
Diameter of wires ...1.7320 mm
