8. This problem relates to tolerance stack-up using the absolute tolerance system, as explained in section 1-14. In the figure below, specified dimensions are as follows (all units in inches): (a) If the gap, \( w \), must be at least \( 0.015 \) in for the proper functioning of the assembly, what is the correct nominal dimension for \( d \) ? (b) Under the assumptions of the preceding question, what would be the most likely value for the gap, \( w \) ? Would it be \( 0.015 \mathrm{in} \) ?
