Vernier Caliper

Exercise 1
Find the readings of the vernier calipers below.
1. 2. 3.

8.6 cm + 0.02cm 0.0cm + 0.06cm 6.4cm + 0.03cm

= 8.62cm = 0.06cm = 6.43cm
4. 5. 6.

1.0cm + 0.06cm 5.3cm + 0.01cm 3.8cm + 0.03cm

= 1.06cm = 5.31cm = 3.83cm
7. 8. 9.

4.3cm + 0.07cm 4.2cm + 0.07cm 7.0cm + 0.05cm 0.2cm + 0.04cm

4.37cm = 4.27cm 7.05cm 0.24cm

Exercise 2
1. Assuming that the jaws of the calipers are tightly closed, find the zero error of the Vernier calipers below.

1. -0.06cm 2. +0.06cm 3. -0.04cm

4. +0.03cm 5. -0.03cm 6. +0.10cm

2. Find the zero error and the correct reading of the Vernier calipers below.
1 2 3

Zero error = -0.03cm Zero error = +0.03cm Zero error = -0.04cm -0.06

Correct reading: Correct reading: Correct reading:

6.43cm - (-0.06cm) = 6.49cm
0.06cm – (-0.03cm) = 0.09cm 1.06cm – (+0.03cm) = 1.03cm 6.43cm – (-0.04cm) = 6.47cm
