Example: A metric screw thread is being inspected using the two-wire method in order to measure its effective diameter and the following data is generated: pitch = 1.5mm, diameter of the best size wire = 0.866 mm, distance over the wires = 26.58mm, and thread angle = 60°. Determine the effective diameter of the screw thread. Example: Determine the effective diameter of a metric screw using the three-wire method. The following data is available: diameter of the best size wire = 0.740mm, distance over the wires = 25.58 mm, and pitch = 1.25mm. Example: Derive the expression for the best-size wire in a two-wire method. A metric screw thread is being inspected using the two-wire method in order to measure its effective diameter and the following data is generated: pitch = 1.5mm, diameter of the best size wire = 0.866mm, distance over the wires = 26.58mm, and thread angle = 60°. Determine the effective diameter of the screw thread.

Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of higher gauge. Thus, the thin 24-gauge wire included in many electronics kits has a wire diameter of 0.51 mm, while a thicker 12-gauge wire used for many home audio speakers has a wire diameter of 2.05 mm. Different gauge wires have different maximum current ratings, with thicker wires being capable of safely handling larger currents. A. Consider a meter of 24-gauge copper wire. Calculate the resistance of this wire. B. Imagine that this 1-meter length of 24-gauge copper wire were laid across the terminals of an ideal 12-volt battery. Calculate the current that would run through the wire. C. The maximum safe current rating for 24-gauge copper wire is 2.0 Amps. What is the shortest length of this wire that could be safely placed across the ideal 12-volt battery?
