The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.0025 cm and it has an error of + 0.0125 cm. While measuring the length of a cylinder, the reading on the main scale is 7.55 cm, and the 12th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale. Calculate the corrected length.

उत्तर
Least count (L.C.) = 0.0025 cm
Error = +0.0125 cm
Correction = – (Error)
= – (+0.0125)
= – 0.0125 cm
Main scale reading = 7.55 cm
Vernier scale division (V.S.D.) coinciding with main scale = 12th
Length recorded = Main scale reading + L.C. × V.S.D.
= 7.55 + 0.0025 × 12
= 7.55 + 0.0300
= 7.58 cm
Correct length = Length recorded + Correction
= 7.58 + (−0.0125)
= 7.58 – 0.0125
= 7.5675 cm
= 7.567 cm

Which of the following measures a small length to high accuracy : metre rule , vernier callipers or screw gauge?
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.
When does a vernier callipers has the positive error?
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
- pitch
- observed diameter
- least count
- corrected diameter.
