EXPERIMENT 1

AIM: Tmeasure internal diameter and depth of a given beaker/calorimeter using Vernier
Callipers and hence find its volume.
V
APPARATUs
Vernier Callipers,a beaker oxacalorimeter and a magnifying glass.
THEORY
)For measuring internal diameter and depth.Same as in Experiment 1.
(ü) For volume:
Volumeof beaker orcalorimeter = internal area of cross-section x depth
V=
.4 mly fomla fo
where, D = internal diameter of beaker/calorimeter
d= depth of beaker/calorimeter.

PROCEHURE
1 Determine the venier constant (V.C.) i.e., least count of the vernier callipers and record it
stepwise.
2. Bring the movable jaw BD in close contact with the fixed jaw AC and find the zero error. Do it
threemes and record it. If there is no zero error, then record, zero error as nil.
,Nsurement of internal diameter
3. Put the jaws Cand Dinside the beaker or calorimeter and open them till each of them touches
the inner wall of the beaker or calorimeter, without any undue pressure on the walls. Tighten
the screw attached to the vernier scale gently.
4. Note the position of the zero mark of the vernier scale on the main scale. Record the main
scale reading just before the zero mark of the vernier scale. This reading (N) is called main scale
reading (M.S.R.).
5. Note the number (n) of the vernier scale division which coincides with some division of the
main scale.

6. Repeat steps 4and 5after rotating the vernier callipers by 90° for measuring internal diameter
in a perpendicular direction.
7. Find total reading and apply zero correction.
Measyement of depth
8. Keep the edge of the main scale of vernier callipers on its peripheral edge. This should be done
in such away that the tip of the strip is able to go freely inside the beaker along its depth.
9. Keep sliding the moving jaw of the vernier callipers until the strip just touches the bottom of
the beaker. Take care that it is just perpendicular to the bottom surface. Now, tighten the screw
of the vernier callipers.
10. Repeat steps 4and 5for four different positions along the circumference of the upper edge of
the beaker or calorimeter.
11. Find total reading andapply zero correction.
12 Take mean of two different values of internal diameter and four different values of the depth.
13. Calculate the volume by using proper formula and show that in the result with proper unit.
