What is meant by zero error of vernier callipers ? How is it determined? Draw neat diagrams to explain it. How is it taken in account to get the correct measurement?
Name the two scales of a vernier callipers and explain how it is used to measure length correct up to 0.01 cm.
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?

Fig., below shows the reading obtained while measuring the diameter of a wire with a screw gauge. The screw advances by 1 division on the main scale when circular head is rotated once.
Find:
(i) Pitch of the screw gauge,
(ii) Least count of the screw gauge and
(iii) The diameter of the wire.
State the formula for calculating length if:
The reading of the main scale is known and the number of vernier scale divisions coinciding with the main scale is known.
State the correction if the negative error is 7 divisions when the least count is 0.01 cm.
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 7 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 2 divisions and 79th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale is 10 to a centimetre and circular scale has 100 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter
- least count
- corrected diameter.
What do you understand by the following term as applied to screw gauge?
Zero error
Explain the term least count of a screw gauge. How are they determined?
