When is a vernier Callipers said to be free from zero error?
Name the two scales of a vernier callipers and explain how it is used to measure length correct up to 0.01 cm.
State the purpose of ratchet in a screw gauge.
What do you mean by zero error of a screw gauge? How is it accounted for?
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.
