Measurement of radius by four ball

The size of the balls should be

chosen so that the angle in

the figure is between about 30
and 60 degrees.
If the angle is large ,small
error in measuring H will result
in larger errors in the diameter.
If it is small, heavy contact
forces between the balls will
reduce the accuracy.
