When does a vernier callipers has the positive error?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Positive Error: If the zero of the vernier scale is on the right-hand side of zero of the main scale, then the error is said to be positive and correction is said to be negative.

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 determining a pitch
A micrometre screw gauge having a positive zero error of 5 divisions is used to measure diameter of a wire, when reading on the main scale is 3rd division and the 48th circular scale division coincides with baseline. If the micrometer has 10 divisions to a centimetre on the main scale and 100 divisions on a circular scale, calculate
- Pitch of screw
- Least count of screw
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter.
