उत्तर

The following procedure is used to measure the diameter of a wire
(a). Calculate the least count and zero error of the screw gauge.
(b). Place the wire in between the studs. Turn the ratchet clockwise so as to hold the wire gently in between the studs. Record the main scale reading.
(c). Now record the division of circular scale that coincides with the base line of the main scale. This circular scale division multiplied by the least count will give circular scale reading.
(d). The observed diameter is obtained by adding the circular scale reading to the main scale reading. Subtract the zero error if any, with its proper sign, from the observed diameter to get the true diameter.

Name the part of the vernier callipers which is used to measure the following

Depth of a small bottle


The least count of a vernier calipers is :


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.


When a screw gauge with a least count of 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.

(i) What is the diameter of the wire in cm?

(ii) If the zero error is +0.005 cm, what is the correct diameter?


Define metre in terms of the wavelength of light.


In a vernier callipers, 19 main scale divisions coincide with 20 vernier scale divisions. If the main scale has 20 divisions in a centimetre, calculate

  1. pitch
  2. L.C. of vernier callipers.

What is the need for measuring length with vernier callipers?


State the correction if the positive error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.


What is the least count in the case of the following instrument?

Screw gauge


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?
