Solution
Level of water in measuring cylinder = V1 = 12.5 ml
When a stone is lowered, then the level of water in measuring cylinder
= V2 = 21.0 ml
Volume of stone = V2 − V1
V = 21.0 − 12.5
V = 8.5 ml

State one use of a screw gauge.
What do you mean by zero error of a screw gauge? How is it accounted for?
(a) A vernier scale has 10 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 1.0 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of zero of the vernier scale on the main scale is 56 and the 8th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the length in centimetres.
(b) If the above instrument has a negative error of 0.07 cm, calculate the corrected length.
State the formula for calculating length if:
The reading of the main scale is known and the number of vernier scale divisions coinciding with the main scale is known.
