Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a vernier callipers. Name its main parts and state their functions.
The diameter of a thin wire can be measured by
Is it possible to increase the degree of accuracy by mathematical manipulations? Support your answer by an example.
Define the term pitch.
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.
Consider the following case where the zero of vernier scale and the zero of the main scale are clearly seen. If L.C. of the vernier calipers is 0.01 cm, write the zero error and zero correction of the following.

On a vernier calliper, 25 vernier scale divisions are equal in length to 24 main scale divisions. One main scale division is 1 mm. Find the least count of the instrument.
