And another thing...”Tolerances in mechanical engineering means the space between two materials, such as between a bolt and a nut. “ If the nut and bolt are put together properly, there is no space in between at all. They should be completely touching.
Actually, there has to be a tiny, tiny space between the two. If not for that space, it would not be possible to put the bolt into the nut.
Also, about the tides, one of the reasons for the movement of the ground is the direct pull of the Moon’s gravity. The other is due to the shifting of the weight of the water mass on the land bearing it, due to the tides.
not true at all...if the fit was with no space at all, you wouldn't be able to put them together. In a common nut and bolt combination, with acceptable normal tolerances, you can actually move the nut up and down on the bolt just a tiny bit.....you can also put them together manually...no tools required!!!!
