Explain the terms : Pitch .
How are they determined?
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.
The thimble of a screw gauge has 50 divisions. The spindle advances 1 mm when the screw is turned through two revolutions.
(i) What is the pitch of the screw gauge?
(ii) What is the least count of the screw gauge?
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 10
Who invented vernier callipers?
A micrometre screw gauge has a negative zero error of 8 divisions. While measuring the diameter of a wire the reading on the main scale is 3 divisions and the 24th circular scale division coincides with baseline.
If the number of divisions on the main scale are 20 to a centimetre and circular scale has 50 divisions, calculate
- pitch
- observed diameter.
- least count
- corrected diameter.
