A vernier callipers has a zero error of + 0.06 cm. Draw a neat labelled diagram to represent it.
Explain the terms : Pitch .
How are they determined?
While measuring the length of a rod with a vernier callipers, below shows the position of its scales. What is the length of the rod?

Fig., below shows the reading obtained while measuring the diameter of a wire with a screw gauge. The screw advances by 1 division on the main scale when circular head is rotated once.
Find:
(i) Pitch of the screw gauge,
(ii) Least count of the screw gauge and
(iii) The diameter of the wire.
State the formula for calculating length if:
Number of vernier scale division coinciding with the main scale and number of division of main scale on the left-hand side of zero of vernier scale is known.
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 8 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 3 divisions and the 24th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale are 20 to a centimetre and circular scale has 50 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter.
- least count
- corrected diameter.
What do you understand by the following term as applied to micrometre screw gauge?
Sleeve cylinder
