The designer has chosen the clearance fit with φ 50 H8c7. Calculate
the limit dimensions of hole and shaft. Draw the sketch of the given
assembly. The clearance is 0.005mm. (03)

tolerance? According to modern system how these two parameters
are considered for both plug and ring gauges. Explain with neat
sketches. (03)

areas above and below the datum line were:
Above: 180 90 155 55mm2
Below: 70 90 170 150 mm2
Horizontal magnification is 100. (03)
