    Q.1: What Is Vernier Calipers?

    Uploaded by

    Adnan Bappy
    The document discusses vernier calipers and screw gauges. It defines vernier calipers as an instrument used to measure length accurately up to 0.1 mm. The vernier scale increases the accuracy of the main scale and its least count is 0.01 cm or 0.1 mm. A screw gauge uses a screw mechanism to measure thickness or depth accurately up to 0.001 cm.

    Q.1: What is vernier calipers?

    Ans. It is simple instrument by which length of an object can be measured accurately up to one-tenth of a
    millimeter or one-hundredth of a centimeter.

    Q.2: What is the use of Vernier Scale?


    Ans. To increase the accuracy of the main scale.

    Q.3: What is least count (L.C.)?


    Ans. The minimum measurement that can be taken by an instrument.
    Q.4: What is the least count of?
    (a) meter scale (b) Stop Watch (c) Vernier Calliper
    Ans. The least count of:
    (a) meter scale = 0.1 cm or 1 mm.
    (b) stop watch = 0.01 sec or 1/100 sec. or according to stop watch.
    (c) vernier scale = 0.01 cm or 0.1 mm

    Q.5: What are units of vernier scale?


    Ans. Vernier has not units of its own.

    Q.7: How the L.C. of a vernier is determined?


    Ans. By using the relation:
    L.C. = (Smallest division on Main Scale ) / (Total number of divisions on Vernier Scale).

    Q.11: What are the functions of (a) Sliding strip (b) Upper jaws
    Ans. (a) For measuring depth. (b) For measuring the inner diameter.

    Q.12: What is meant by zero error (Z.E.)?


    Ans. The error which arises when zeros of M.S. and V.S. do not coincide upon joining the two
    jaws.

    Q.13: When Z.E. is positive?


    Ans. The Z.E. is positive when the zero of V.S. is to the right of the zero of M.S.

    Q.14: How we find the corrected reading?


    Ans. Corrected reading = Meaning reading – ( + Z.E.)

    Q.15: Do you know any use of vernier scale?


    Ans. It is used in spectrometer, barometer, traveling microscope, etc.

    Q.18: Why is the vernier calipers so called?


    Ans. A French mathematician named Pierre Vernier invented it and it is named after him.
    Q.19: How does temperature affect the length of a cylinder?
    Ans. The length of a cylinder increases with the increase of temperature and decreases with the
    decrease of temperature.

    Q.20: What is the unit of volume?


    Ans. In MKS system, the unit of volume is m . In CGS system, the unit of volume is cm3. In FPS
    3

    system, the unit of volume is ft3.

    Screw Gauge:

    .1: What is a screw?


    Ans. Screw is a simple machine related to inclined plane.

    .2: What is meant by “gauge”?


    Ans. The gauge means device or instrument.

    .4: What is meant by pitch of a screw?


    Ans. Pitch is the distance between two nearest (consecutive or successive) threads along the axis
    of screw.

    Q.5: How is the pitch found?


    Ans. By dividing the distance covered by the screw in a known number of rotations by the total
    number of relations.

    Q.6: What is the least count (L.C.) of the screw gauge?


    Ans. L.C. of screw gauge = 0.001 cm.

    Q.7: How the L.C. of a screw gauge is found?


    Ans. By using the relation: L.C. = (Pitch of the screw / No. of circular scale divisions)
