Section B: (10 marks)
Answer the following question.
1. A pair of vernier calipers is used to measure the
external diameter of a water pipe. Figure 2.1shows the
main and vernier scales of the vernier calipers when thewater pipe is lightly closed by the jaws.
(a) Determine the vernier caliperreading. [2 marks]
Figure 2.1
Before the vernier caliper is used, the jaws are closed.Figure 2.2 shows the main and vernier scales of the vernier
calipers with the jaws closed.
(b) Name this systematic error in the vernier calipers.[2 marks]
Figure 2.2
(c) State the reading of the error. [2 marks]
(d) This error can be taken into account by adding it or
subtracting it from the reading obtained. Determine
the actual reading of the external diameter of thewater pipe. [4 marks]
