Name the instrument which can accurately measure the following

The internal diameter of the neck of a water bottle


(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.


Which part of vernier callipers is used to measure the internal length of a hollow cylinder?


A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 7 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 2 divisions and 79th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale is 10 to a centimetre and circular scale has 100 divisions, calculate

  1. pitch
  2. observed diameter
  3. least count
  4. corrected diameter.

What do you understand by the following term as applied to micrometre screw gauge?

Thimble scale


What do you understand by the following term as applied to screw gauge?

Negative zero error


How do you account for positive zero error for calculating the correct diameter of wires?


What is the backlash error?


We can find the diameter of a wire by wrapping it around a pencil and measuring the length of turns with the help of a meter scale. Is this approach more accurate than determining the diameter of the wire with the help of a screw gauge?
