उत्तर
The presentation of the data in a tabular form helps in quickly grasping and analyzing the recorded observations. For example, to measure a diameter using a vernier caliper we record the following data in a tabular form as follows
Vernier caliper
| No. of observations | Main scale reading (cm) | No. of vernier divisions p coinciding with main scale | Vernier reading =L.C. X p (cm) | Observed diameter |
| 1 | ||||

The measurements corresponding to one physical quantity from one instrument must be recorded in one table. And the name of the instrument should be written on top. Observation must be recorded up to the limit of the instrument and form the recorded individual observations, calculate the mean value, and record it at the bottom of the column.

A vernier callipers has its main scale graduated in mm and 10 divisions on its vernier scale are equal in length to 9 mm. When the two jaws are in contact, the zero of the vernier scale is ahead of the zero of the main scale and the 3rd division of the vernier
scale coincides with a main scale division.
Find : (i) The least count and
(ii) The zero error of the vernier callipers.
Figure shows the position of vernier scale while measuring the external length of a wooden cylinder.
- What is the length recorded by the main scale?
- Which reading of vernier scale coincides with the main scale?
- Calculate the length.
The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.0025 cm and it has an error of + 0.0125 cm. While measuring the length of a cylinder, the reading on the main scale is 7.55 cm, and the 12th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale. Calculate the corrected length.
Figure shows a screw gauge in which circular scale has 100 divisions. Calculate the least count and the diameter of a wire.
What do you understand by the following term as applied to screw gauge?
Negative zero error
