UNITS AND MEASUREMENT Physical Quantities
HEIGHT DISTANCE BETWEEN LENGTH Unit METRE
mm Vernier calliper
Least Count What is the length of this rod?????????? 9cm 9.5cm What is the least count of the scale????????? 1cm .5cm .1cm
Vernier calliper Least Count= 1 MSD/No. of divisions of vernier Least Count= .1cm/10 Least Count= .01cm
Screw gauge Least Count= .001cm Least Count (LC) = Pitch scale reading/ Number of Divisions on the Circular Scale Pitch of the Screw : This is the distance moved by the spindle per one complete rotation. It’s usually given in millimeters (mm). Pitch = Distance moved / Number of rotations
In a screw gauge there are 100 divisions on the Circular scale and screw advances 1 mm in a complete rotation of the screw cap. 200 divisions on the Circular scale and screw advances 1 mm in a complete rotation of the screw cap. 50 divisions on the Circular scale and screw advances .5 mm in a complete rotation of the screw cap. 100 divisions on the Circular scale and screw advances .5 mm in a complete rotation of the screw cap.
