Is it possible to increase the degree of accuracy by mathematical manipulations? Support your answer by an example.


The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.01 cm and it has an error of + 0.07 cm. While measuring the radius of a sphere, the main scale reading is 2.90 cm and the 5th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale. Calculate the correct radius.


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


Which part of vernier callipers is used to measure the internal length of a hollow cylinder?
