Exp#01:
Measure the diameter of sphere using Vernier caliper.

APPARATUS:

 Vernier Calliper.
 Solid Sphere.

PROCEDURE:

 First of all, close the jaws to check the zero error of V.C.
 If zero of main scale concedes with the zero of vernier scale, there will be no zero error.
 If zero of vernier scale is on right side of zero of main scale, error will be positive and
vice versa.
 Now, place the sphere inside the jaws of V.C.
 Then check which of the lines of vernier scale is exactly meeting with main scale reading.
 Note the main scale reading and multiply vernier scale reading with least count.
 Add both the readings to get observed value.
 Then apply zero correction.(add or subtract zero error)

PROCEDURE:

 First of all, close the jaw of screw gauge through ratchet.

and vice versa.
 Place the cylinder in jaws of screw gauge and rotate the ratchet clockwise.
 Note the main scale reading and multiply circular scale reading with L.C.
 Add both the readings to get observed value.
 Then apply zero correction(add or subtract L.C).
