So my marble won t fit in a 2 7 16 inch hole.
Instrument to measure diameter of marble.
If you want to know how to calculate the diameter of a circle just follow these steps.
It s also possible if you don t know any of the above dimensions but you do have a drawing of the circle.
You will need a measuring device to perform this task.
My idea is that with this system the largest size of the marble is measured.
All the answers have been correct.
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.
Calculating a circle s diameter is easy if you know any of the other dimensions of the circle.
A coordinate measuring machine would do the job too.
To measure diameter of a small spherical cylindrical body using vernier s callipers a vernier scale or a vernier calliper is a measuring device that is used to precisely measure linear dimensions.
Measure marbles with a template.
The diameter of a circle is the length of a straight line going from one side of a circle to the opposite side.
There are templates made specifically for marbles and templates with circles in different sizes.
The marble template measures marbles accurately.
To measure the inside diameter of a beaker one could use vernier calipers at the top bow calipers and any of a number of bore gauge types including micrometer types.
The most important thing in choosing any tool is the correct one for the job.
I look forward to your answers.
The radius the circumference or the area.
Marble templates are available and will fit most marble sizes.
Though many would wonder.
If you know the radius of a circle you multiply it by 2 to get the diameter.
What is the instrument for measuring the diameter of spherical objects called.
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.
If you know the circumference of a circle you divide by pi to get the diameter you measure it.
Below is a list of inside measuring tools instruments as well as a general tolerance that can be maintained when using them.
To measure the diameter simply choose two points on the edge of a circle that are directly across from each other and measure the distance between these points.
