Instrument Used To Measure The Diameter Of A Marble

Most templates measure to 16ths of an inch.

Instrument used to measure the diameter of a marble.

The measurement is shown in the figure 2. If you know the radius of a circle you multiply it by 2 to get the diameter. Now let us use this vernier calipers to measure the diameter d of a marble ball marble balls usually have d 1 2 in. Measure the perimeter of the wheel using a tape measure.

We used this instrument in a physics lab to measure the diameter of a tennis ball marble etc. My idea is that with this system the largest size of the marble is measured. R3 3 volume of sphere. Lay a marble template on the tissue and try the marble in the different holes until you find the one closest to the size of the marble.

You use a triple beam scale to measure mass. If you know the circumference of a circle you divide by pi to get the diameter you measure it. A balanced scale which compares the mass of one object with that of a known quantity. Write down the measurement.

Then use the formula to find out the diameter d perimeter 3 14 you could certainly do it that way. I have seen cards boards with different size holes in it to use for measuring the size of marbles. Here x m0 is the distance between the jaw attached to main scale left jaw and the 0 th mark on the main scale and x v0 is the distance between the jaw attached to vernier scale.
