Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around determining the measurements needed for three layers (plys) of veneer to fit into a cylindrical mold with an inside diameter of 7 7/8 inches. The focus is on calculating the length of the plys, which are each 1/16 inch thick, to ensure they fit tightly within the mold.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the specific measurements needed for the plys to fit into the mold.
  • Another participant clarifies that the length of the plys is required, noting that as each ply is added, the dimensions change due to the thickness of the plys.
  • A calculation is presented that provides circumferences for slightly different diameters, suggesting a method for determining the lengths needed for the plys based on the mold's dimensions.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus on the exact measurements required, and the discussion remains open with varying inputs on how to approach the calculations.

Contextual Notes

The calculations provided are based on slightly different diameters than the specified 7 7/8 inches, which may introduce uncertainty regarding their applicability to the original question.

Could you explain in a bit more detail? What measurment do you need to get?
 
I need the length of the plys in inches or mm. The plys are placed in the mold one at a time as you put each one in they get smaller. The plys are 1/16" thick they need to fit in the mold perfectly the mold is a cylinder. It was computer cut at 7 7/8" inside diameter.After the plys are put in their forced tight by air pressure.I need them to fit tightly so the seams are tight. Thanks for your help
 
Pi * 7 13/16 = 24.544"

Pi * 7 11/16 = 24.151"

Pi * 7 9/16 = 23.758"
 
thanks

thank you for your help
