How much does an Invar tape expand and contract due to change in
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
temperature, compared to a standards steel tape under the same
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
conditions?
(a) An Invar tape expands and contracts much more than a steel
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
tape
(b) An Invar tape expands and contracts slightly less than a steel
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
tape
(c) An Invar tap expands and contracts much less than a steel tape
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(d) The two tapes expand and contract about the same amount -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(c) |\ |\
An Invar tape will expand and contract much less than a steel tape
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
when exposed to the same change in temperature. Unfortunately,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Invar tapes, while extremely accurate, are too fragile for normal use.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
So they are typically used for measuring baselines or calibrating
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
steel tapes |\
,How many pins are in a set of chaining pins?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(a) 10 |\
(b) 11 |\
(c) 12 |\
(d) 20 - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(b) 11
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What features distinguish an add tape?
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(a) The last foot of each end is graduated in tenths or hundredths or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
a foot
|\ |\
(b) There is an extra graduated foot beyond the zero mark
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(c) There is an extra graduated foot at the 100 foot end of the tape
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
(d) There is an extra graduated food at both ends of the tape -
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔(b) |\ |\
,An add tape has an extra graduated foot beyond the zero mark
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
On a subtract tape, the last foot is graduated into tenths or
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
hundredths
