Question
Solution
For measurement of an irregular solid by the displacement method using a measuring cylinder.
a. Fill the graduated cylinder with the water.
b. Record the lower meniscus of water and let the value be V1
c. Tie the solid whose volume is to be measured to a strong string and lower it into the water gently.
d. When the object is completely immersed in water, the level of water rises.
e. Note the reading carefully and let the value be V2
f. The volume of the solid, V = V2 - V1

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and the head scale is divided in 100 parts. What is the least count of a screw gauge?
A screw has a pitch equal to 0.5 mm. What should be the number of divisions on its head so as to read correctly up to 0.001 mm with its help?
Who invented vernier callipers?
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
