QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS:
1. Draw the vernier caliper and the micrometer. Label its parts. (Use a separate sheet.)

2. State BRiefly some of the source’s errors in measure the length of a cylinder with a vernier
caliper and the diameter of a sphere with a micrometer

3. Given the Following data concerning vernier and the major scale. Determine the least count and
the reading of the instrument.
Number of division on the vernier scale = 10
Reading on the main scale (before zero) of the vernier scale = 5.3 cm
Smallest Division on the main scale = 0.1 cm
Number of the vernier division coinciding with a main-scale division
