Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a vernier callipers. Name its main parts and state their functions.
Name the instrument which has the least count
0.1 mm
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 is the zero error of a screw gauge?

(i) Find the least count of the instrument.
(ii) Calculate the thickness of the metal sheet.
