Conclusion Reference

The Vernier caliper and Micrometer caliper can both measure small objects, but differ in how measurements are obtained and displayed. While they measured the same metal cube, experiments showed the Micrometer caliper to be more precise, able to measure to the nearest 0.01 mm compared to the Vernier caliper's nearest 0.1 mm. Therefore, the Micrometer caliper was determined to be a more accurate measuring device.

Conclusion

The Vernier and Micrometer calipers have a lot in common and differences when
it comes to obtaining the measurement of an object. Both calipers are good source of
measurement for small objects, although they differ in how an object is measured and
its ways of presenting the measurement. During the experiment, both types of caliper
resulted to the same measurement for the metal cube but this can be because of errors
that occurred while measuring the object. After the experiment, it was concluded that
the Micrometer caliper is more accurate in measuring than the Vernier. The former can
measure to the nearest 0.01 mm while latter can only measure to the nearest 0.1 mm. This
makes the Micrometer more precise of the two measuring devices.
