Given the following information (ignore the top posts on the LEGO bricks):
The short blocks have a thickness of 3.20±.01 mm
The tall blocks have a thickness of 9.60±.01 mm
When the stack is the SHORTEST: What would the maximum size of these gaps be without making the assembly any taller?
Solution
>> Now, for shortest stack,
both blocks must have their shortest thickness,
i.e. Shorter Blocks have 3.20 - 0.1 = 3.19 mm
and taller Blocks have 9.60 - 0.1 = 9.59 mm
>> Now, shorter stack will form when all three shorter blocks combine, i.e. 3*3.19 = 9.57 mm
But as taller block has thickness 9.59 mm
So, this scenario is not possible
> So, shorter stack length = 9.59 mm
and, then gaps will be in shorter blocks region = 9.59 - 9.57 = 0.02 mm
