A vernier callipers has its main scale graduated in mm and 10 divisions on its vernier scale are equal in length to 9 mm. When the two jaws are in contact, the zero of the vernier scale is ahead of the zero of the main scale and the 3rd division of the vernier
scale coincides with a main scale division.
Find : (i) The least count and
(ii) The zero error of the vernier callipers.
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?
A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale and its screw moves by 1 mm on turning it by two revolutions. When the flat end of the screw is in contact with the stud, the zero of the circular scale lies below the base line and 4th division of the circular scale is in line with the base line. Find
(i) The pitch,
(ii) The least count and
(iii) The zero error of the screw gauge
Is it possible to increase the degree of accuracy by mathematical manipulations? Support your answer by an example.
The final result of the calculation in an experiment is 125,347,200. Express the number in term of significant place when accuracy is between 1 and 100
(a) A vernier scale has 10 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 1.0 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of zero of the vernier scale on the main scale is 56 and the 8th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the length in centimetres.
(b) If the above instrument has a negative error of 0.07 cm, calculate the corrected length.
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.
The following figure shows the reading of a vernier caliper used for measuring the thickness of a metal sheet.
(i) Find the least count of the instrument.
(ii) Calculate the thickness of the metal sheet.
