QuestionWhat is the total thickness of spacer shims measuring 0.050 mm0.050 \mathrm{~mm}, 0.003 mm0.003 \mathrm{~mm}, and 0.010 mm0.010 \mathrm{~mm} when stacked?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The thickness of the first shim is0.050 mm. The thickness of the second shim is0.003 mm3. The thickness of the third shim is0.010 mm4. The shims are stacked directly on top of each other without any gaps or overlaps5. The total thickness of the stack is the sum of the thicknesses of the individual shims

STEP 2

We need to find the total thickness of the stack. We can do this by adding the thicknesses of the individual shims.
Total thickness=Thickness of first shim+Thickness of second shim+Thickness of third shimTotal\, thickness = Thickness\, of\, first\, shim + Thickness\, of\, second\, shim + Thickness\, of\, third\, shim

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the thicknesses of the shims to calculate the total thickness.
Total thickness=0.050 mm+0.003 mm+0.010 mmTotal\, thickness =0.050\, mm +0.003\, mm +0.010\, mm

STEP 4

Calculate the total thickness of the stack.
Total thickness=0.050 mm+0.003 mm+0.010 mm=0.063 mmTotal\, thickness =0.050\, mm +0.003\, mm +0.010\, mm =0.063\, mmThe thickness of the stack of shims is0.063 mm.
