Question

Name the measuring employed to measure the thickness of a paper.

Short/Brief Note

Solution

Measuring employed to measure the following
The diameter of a needle = Screw Gauge

Because screw gauge Is more accurate and can measure the thicknesses which metre scale and vemler calliper cannot.

When is a vernier Callipers said to be free from zero error?


What do you mean by zero error of a screw gauge? How is it accounted for?


The final result of the calculation in an experiment is 125,347,200. Express the number in term of significant place when accuracy is between 1 and 1000


(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.
