Answer:
0.00998 Inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Thickness of the light bulb filament = 0.01 Inch
Allowable error = 2%.
2% of 0.01 = 0.02 X 0.01 =0.0002 Inch
Therefore, the allowable thickness of the bulb filament
[tex]=0.01 \pm 0.0002 $ Inches[/tex]
We can then calculate the least allowable thickness of the filament as:
[tex]=0.01 - 0.0002 \\=0.00998$ Inches[/tex]
The least allowable thickness of the filament is 0.00998 Inches.
