Question

What is the range of readings which can be read directly in precision microptic clinometer?

(a) 0^o to 180^o

(b) 0^o to 270^o

(c) 0^o to 90^o

(d) 0^o to 360^o

I have been asked this question during an internship interview.

Origin of the question is Clinometers topic in division Angular Measurement and Circular Division of Engineering Metrology

Answer 1

Correct answer is (d) 0^o to 360^o

Explanation: Precision microptic clinometer can be used for direct reading over the range 0° – 360°. Special feature of precision microptic clinometer are optical reading system, totally enclosed glass circles, slow motion screw for fine adjustments, eyepiece rotatable to most convenient viewing position.
