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. 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. My idea is that with this system the largest size of the marble is measured. Write down the measurement.

R3 3 volume of sphere. You use a triple beam scale to measure mass. We used this instrument in a physics lab to measure the diameter of a tennis ball marble etc. Now let us use this vernier calipers to measure the diameter d of a marble ball marble balls usually have d 1 2 in.

If you can t do that then somehow measure the diameter of the marble divide it by 2 to find the radius and plug it into this formula. 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. A balanced scale which compares the mass of one object with that of a known quantity. I have seen cards boards with different size holes in it to use for measuring the size of marbles.

As a marble is a sphere and a sphere is an endless number of circles it is impossible to squeeze a circle with a diameter of 2 1 2 inch through a 2 7 16 inch hole. Measure the perimeter of the wheel using a tape measure. Then use the formula to find out the diameter d perimeter 3 14 you could certainly do it that way.
