A vernier callipers has a zero error of + 0.06 cm. Draw a neat labelled diagram to represent it.
Name the instrument which can accurately measure the following
The internal diameter of the neck of a water bottle
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.
Why is the metre length in terms of the wavelength of light considered more accurate?
In figure for vernier callipers, calculate the length recorded.

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 screw gauge?
