Section B. Answer all question.
1. The diagram shows a vernier caliper with its jaws closed.

a. What is the value of the zero error?

Zero error: __________________(1m)

b. The vernier caliper is used to measure the width of a block and the
diameter of a test tube as shown in the diagrams below.

i ) What is the diameter of the test tube? (2m)

ii ) What is the width of the block? (2m)

 2. The micrometer screw gauge must be checked for any zero error before it can
be used. The diagram below show two of micrometer screw gauge with its jaws
closed.

P Q

a. State the value of each zero error.

Zero error P: ________________ (1m) Zero error Q: ________________(1m)

b. The two micrometer screw gauges are then used to measure the diameters of
two objects. State the reading shown by each micrometer screw gauge.
