    J Using the vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge Seealso _http://mmnphyuctoc-za/courses/cllab/ ‘The precision of length measurements may be increased by using a device that uses a ‘tiding vernier scale. Two such instruments that are based on a vernier scale which you will use in the laboratory to measure lengths of objects are the vernier calipers and the micrometer screw gauge. These instruments have a main scale (in millimetres) and a siding or rotating vernier scale. In the figure below, the vernier scale (below) is divided Into 10 equal divisions and thus the /east count of the instrument is 0.1mm. Both the main scale and the vernier scale readings are taken into account while making a measurement. ‘The main scale reading isthe first reading on the main cale immediately fo the left of ‘the zero of the verier scale (3 mm), while the vernier scale reading is the mark on the verier scale which exactly coincides with a mark on the main scale (0.7 mm). The reading Is therefore 3.7 mm, JA The veri calipers : ‘The vernier callers found in the UCT Physics laboratory incorporates a main scale and ‘sliding vernier scale which allows readings to the nearest 0.02 mm. This instrument ‘may be used to measure outer dimensions of objects (using the main jaws), inside
