(2 marks) (e) Break the following sequence up into groups A+B+B-A-C+C- What is the least amount of groups needed? (3 marks)
Q3. (a) In an exercise to measure the included angle of an Internal Taper using precision spheres and a depth micrometer, the following information was obtained. D = 40 mm (Diameter of the Larger sphere) d = 8 mm (diameter of the smaller sphere) h = 3 mm (refer to Figure Q3 (a) attached) H = 85 mm. Calculate the included angle of the taper.
