Define the least count of vernier callipers. How do you determine it?
Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a vernier callipers. Name its main parts and state their functions.
Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a screw gauge.
Name its main parts and state their functions.
When a screw gauge with a least count of 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.
(i) What is the diameter of the wire in cm?
(ii) If the zero error is +0.005 cm, what is the correct diameter?
Which part of vernier callipers is used to measure the external diameter of a cylinder?
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.

What is meant by the pitch of a screw gauge? The pitch of a screw is 1 mm.
Find the reading of the instrument shown in the following figure.

A Vernier calliper reads a main scale reading of 2.3 cm and the 5th division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. If the least count is 0.01 cm, what is the actual reading?
