Topic Content:

  • Worked Examples – Reading a Vernier Calliper
  • Worked Examples – Reading Micrometer Screw Gauge

Worked Example 3.3.1:

What is the reading of the vernier calliper as shown in the figure below?

vernier scale reading kofa

Solution

Reading of the main scale (before 0 on the Vernier scale) = 10.0 cm

Reading of vernier scale = 2                  

Reading of vernier scale × accuracy of vernier calliper  

= 2 × 0.01 cm  =  0.02 cm

Final reading = Main scale + Vernier scale

10.0 cm + 0.02 cm = 10.02 cm

Worked Example 3.3.2:

What is the reading of the vernier caliper as shown in the figure below?
