What are the minimum and maximum measurements of a shaft given 2.125 plus or minus .015?

To determine the minimum and maximum measurements of the shaft expressed as "2.125 plus or minus .015," you simply calculate the range around the nominal value of 2.125.

Starting with the given value:

1. Calculate the minimum measurement:

Subtract .015 from 2.125:

( 2.125 - 0.015 = 2.110 )

2. Calculate the maximum measurement:

Add .015 to 2.125:

( 2.125 + 0.015 = 2.140 )

Therefore, the minimum and maximum measurements of the shaft are 2.110 and 2.140, respectively. It is important to perform these calculations correctly to ensure compliance with manufacturing specifications and tolerances.

While the calculations show that the correct range is 2.110 to 2.140, the choice identified as the correct answer did not align with the calculated values. The focus here is to ensure clarity on how to derive the correct minimum and maximum measurements based on the provided nominal value and tolerance.
