In a particular drawing, 40 inches is represented by a 10 cm long line. A comparative scale is constructed that measures up to 180 inches and 2 m respectively. What are the lengths of scale for both the inches as well as the meter scales? (1 inch = 0.0254 meter)
In a particular drawing, 40 inches is represented by a 10 cm long line. A comparative scale is constructed that measures up to 180 inches and 2 m respectively. What are the lengths of scale for both the inches as well as the meter scales? (1 inch = 0.0254 meter) Correct Answer 45 cm and 19.7 cm
The length of the scale = R.F. x maximum length to be measured. Hence for the inches scale, R.F. = 10 ÷ 40 and the maximum length to be measured is 180 inches. Hence length of inch scale = 10 ÷ 40 x 180 = 45 cm. Similarly length of meter scale = 10 ÷ 40 ÷ 0.0254 ÷ 100 x 2 x 100 = 19.7 cm.
