Question

what does the odometer of an automobile measure

Answer 1

An odometer or odograph is an instrument used for measuring the distance traveled by a vehicle, such as a bicycle or car. The device may be electronic, mechanical, or a combination of the two (electromechanical). The noun derives from the Ancient Greek word ὁδόμετρον, hodómetron, from ὁδός, hodós ("path" or "gateway") and μέτρον, métron ("measure"). Early forms of the odometer existed in the ancient Greco-Roman world as well as in ancient China. In countries using Imperial units or US customary units it is sometimes called a mileometer or milometer, the former name especially being prevalent in the United Kingdom and among the Commonwealth.

Answer 2

The odometer of automobile measures the distance traveled by it.

• An Odometer, also called the Odograph, is defined as an instrument or a device that is used to measure what distance is covered by a vehicle, such as a car, bike, etc.
• It measures this distance on the basis of the perimeter or circumference of the wheel of a vehicle as it keeps on rotating.
• Most of the odometers work in such a way that the number of wheel rotations is counted, which is then multiplied by the wheel circumference to get the distance traveled. The circumference is taken as the pi (3.14) times the standard tire diameter.
• Thus, the odometer of an automobile measures the distance traveled by the automobile.
