Question

What are the advantages and disadvantages of slide rule

Answer 1

ADVANTAGES OF SLIDE RULE

one of the advantages of using a slide rule is that it is an extension of the mind. Slide rules don't set decimal points; the user has to make a rough calculation to determine the decimal point location in an answer. Because of this, users develop a skill that allows them to perform fast mental calculations. They also develop a feel for the reasonableness of an answer. The batteries never go bad either.

DISADVANTAGES OF SLIDE RULE...

The main disadvantages of circular slide rules are the difficulty in locating figures along a rotating disc, and limited number of scales. Another drawback of circular slide rules is that less-important scales are closer to the center, and have lower precisions.
