zerro error in a spring balance affects the accuracy in the weight. To find zero error in spring balance, you have to first find the least count of the spring balance and then suspend it freely, if the outcome is +1, the zero error is +1 and if it is -1 ,the zero error is -1.
The difference between screw gauge and spherometer is that spherometer can measure the dimensions of spherical surfaces but screw gauge cannot
if the zero line of vernier scale is not conciding with main scale the zero error exists.Knowing the zero error necessary correction can be made to find correct measurement..Such a correction is called zero correction

In general in any screw type instrument such as spherometer or screw gauge or micrometer the least count = pitch / no of head scale divisions Spherometer has an advantage of finding the depth in case of curved surfaces.
No, you have not any knowledge about spherometer. In spherometer also, similar to other measuring instruments zero error should be considered every time; in order to achieve accurate value.
when the three outer legs tilt or doesnt stand still,it's called backlash error in spherometer...
we can find the zero error by closing the jaw of screw guage if the zero of main scale(MS) is concide with the zero of circular scale (CS) there is no zero error and if they are not concide there is a zero error in screw guage .

The reason a spherometer is called a spherometer is because it measures the radius of a sphere.
Take a measurement with nothing in the gauge. That reading is the zero-error.

abt spherometer
spherometer is an instrument used to measure the curvature of a sphere
A spherometer is an instrument for the precise measurement of the radius of a sphere. The spherometer directly measures a sagittal. Since the spherometer is essentially a type of micrometer, it measures very small things like millimeters.
The difference between screw gauge and spherometer is that spherometer can measure the dimensions of spherical surfaces but screw gauge cannot
The zero error of vernier calliper is defined as :-The zero error is equal to the distance between the zero of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale.
