What is magnification 30X in theodolite?
This means the telescope component brings things visually 30 times closer. Many theodolites used by various government agencies used to be pro-rated at 25X more than adequate for most tasks including trackint weather balloons- this being called a Pibal ( Pilot-Balloon) theodolite. the term pilot is somewhat misleading, as it is not a manned and controlled ( hence piloted) vehicle but an unmanned balloon that, of course follows the wind currents aloft- and moves at the same rate and direction! These instruments, while rivalled by more modern gadgetry- are still used by the Weather bureau and particularily at airports and similar sites where wind functions are important to safe operation of aircraft. I understand some modern Theodolites are l00X ( for building surveying work)- but this might be a misunderstanding with the standard Focus of l00 feet- like the various fixed focusing stops on a camera. all theodolites have adjustable focusing, in part to adapt the instrument to different lightint conditions brought about by- you guessed it, the weather ( more sophisticated one might say diminution of light caused by atmospheric refraction, switch up the lens power!
How to get centimeters on the measuring tape?
You can buy many tapes with inches on one edge and metric on the other.
The design on which most modern spring tape measures are built was patented by a New Haven, Connecticut resident named Alvin J. Fellows on 14 July 1868.
What would you use to measure a fingernail?
a small cm ruler
An effective method to measure a fingernail would be to use a sliding caliper
How does a thread micrometer measure threads?
Mechanically by a fixed reference. One turn of the barrel equals 25 thousandths of an inch- sometimes called 25 mills ( do not confuse with milimeters) therfore it can be read-off by an experienced operator.
What is the tool to measure volume using water displacement?
A beaker is used to measure volume using water displacement.
How does a spirit level indicate level?
A bubble of air is in a small slightly curved tube of alcohol. The bubble will float at the highest point and indicate level or not level.
What would you use to measure the length of a table?
A tape measure that measure in feet and inches (or meters and centimeters) would be most appropriate.
Measuring tools used in automotive shop?
