Physics 221 Section 1 READING THE VERNIER CALIPERS Kiara Miller Partners: Elizabeth Parsons‚ Raven Frazier‚ and G’ana Robinson Date Performed: August 27‚ 2013 Abstract The Purpose of this lab is to introduce the basic measurement techniques for the fundamental quantities such as length and mass‚ to introduce quantitative analysis tools such as the average and the percent difference‚ and to reinforce other concepts such as unit conversion. In this lab we measured the dimensions of

The Vernier Caliper and Micrometer Experiment # 1 Abstract: The activity involved the use of both vernier and micrometer calipers accurately on measuring provided materials. The objectives of the act were to familiarize the students with the use of the said scales and to demonstrate their differences. The dimensions of a metallic cube made of steel and a metallic washer were measured using a vernier caliper while that of a marble made of glass and the same metal cube were measured using the

just determined the value of the thickness of an M&M using the indirect method. What the method indirect?You have to define your answers in Table 1 and find out all the other measurements. 2. When Step 4 of the procedure was performed‚ a vernier caliper was used to measure the thickness of an M&M. F. Using the data from Table 2‚ calculate the average M&M thickness and record your value in Table 3. Copy Table 2 and Table 3 into the assignment. .6915 G. You have just determined

flattened part of the sphere. Controlled: The size of the ball‚ the surface area of the drop height and the material from which the sphere is made. APPARATUS: Sphere plasticine‚ meter ruler‚ Vernier caliper‚ string‚ marker METHOD: Make a sphere out of plasticine and measure its size using the Vernier caliper to maintain a constant size throughout the experiment. Get a flat and smooth surface area. Use a meter ruler to measure 60m above the surface area and hold the plasticine to the ruler at

how to use vernier caliper‚ micrometer and spherometer to measure internal and external diameters of a pipe‚the thickness of a copper rods‚ and the radius of curvature of spherical lenses. 1) Vernier caliper: As shown in Fig. 1 the main fixed scale in the vernier caliper has 1 mm gradations while th sliding scale (vernier scale) has 0.05 mm gradations. The smallest division of vernier scale is called the least count of vernier caliper. It may be different for different vernier calipers (and other

"yes‚" and in this activity you will make direct and indirect measurements of the thickness of M&Ms. You will compare the results and evaluate the reliability of each method of measurement. Be sure to view the tutorial on the proper use of the vernier caliper. Please re-visit the information on when to cite sources. Since a graduated cylinder is usually used for liquid measurement‚ students think they need to put water in the cylinder. This is not true for this activity. The graduated cylinder
