Answer
To calculate the mean circumference, we first find the mean diameter.
Mean extØ=extOutsideDiameter−extplatethickness=600−30=570extmm.
Then, we use the formula for circumference:
Mean Circumference =extπimesextmeanØ=extπimes570extmmextMeanCircumferenceext≈1790.71extmm or approximately 1791 mm.
