What is a caliper used for?

56% Answer Correctly

ensuring that surfaces are level

making perfectly vertical lines

measuring thickness and irregular shapes

transferring distances between objects


Solution

Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.

You're creating a tube out of a sheet of metal. What type of fastener are you likely to use?

78% Answer Correctly

glue

punch

nail

rivet


Solution

A nail is a short pin-shaped shaft of steel that's typically used to fasten pieces of wood together. It has a flat head on one end and a point on the other. A rivet consists of a cylindrical shaft with a head on one end and a tail on the other. When the rivet is installed, the tail is expanded and reshaped to form another head, creating a dumbell shape that will hold two surfaces together semi-permanently.
