Performance task 2

 Vernier Calliper
 When you want to know the measurements of an object, put it in the jaws of the vernier
calliper. And read the main scale where it lines up with the sliding scale's zero and read the
Vernier scale. And add the number of the main scale and vernier scale to get the the
measurements.
 Micrometers
 Close the jaws of the micrometer and check for a zero error.
 Place the wire between the anvil and spindle end as indicated in the diagram.
 Rotate the thimble until the wire is firmly held between the anvil and the spindle.
  The rachet is provided to avoid excessive pressure on the wire. It prevents the spindle from
further movement - squashing the wire!.
 Protractor
 Place the midpoint of the protractor on the VERTEX of the angle.
 Line up one side of the angle with the zero line of the protractor (where you see the
number 0).
 Read the degrees where the other side crosses the number scale.
 Laser tape measure
 you place the device on one end of what you want to measure, and then aim the laser
beam so that it hits an object at the other end. If there's no wall, pole or anything like that,
you can put a target at the spot you want to measure up to. The process is similar to using a
conventional tape measure, except you use a laser beam instead of metal tape. Once you
have the laser at the right spot, press the button, and the tape measure calculates the
distance and displays it on its screen. The calculation is done through precision optics and
laser physics using the phase-shift method, in which a laser hits an object and compares its
reflection with the beam sent out, or using the time-of-flight method in which the time it
takes for an optical pulse to reflect back is calculated. Some laser tape measures let you
measure multiple distances and add them together automatically.
 Steel tape measure
 To use a tape measure, pull the tang out from the housing and hook it on the edge of the
object to be measured. Stretch the blade across the object, press the lock, and then
observe where the blade meets the end of the object. The nearest line on the blade to the
end of the object is the final measurement.
 Weight Scale meter
 . To use a scale, the item which needs to be weighed is put on one side of the scale. Then,
weight stones are put on the other side. Once the scale balances (that is the indicator
between the two scales is in the middle), the correct weight is chosen.
