A micrometer , sometimes known as a micrometer screw gauge, is a device incorporating a calibrated screw used widely for precise measurement of small distances in mechanical engineering and machining as well as most mechanical trades, along with other metrological instruments such as dial, vernier, and digital calipers. Micrometers are similar in use to vernier calipers but are more precise although the modern digital caliper has blurred the distinction between them.A micrometer is also used to measure the diameter of very small objects that a vernier calliper can't measure for example a screw or a piece of wire.This instrument is mainly used by mechanics.

What would happen if the micrometer screw gauge was not reset back from the end of the bar?
In an Experiment to determine the linear expansion of copper, a micrometer screw gauge is one of the apparatus used, and it's usually fixed at the end of the metal rod. Now the reason why the micrometer screw gauge should always be reset back from the end of the bar is to avoid the heating of the micrometer screw gauge which would expand it,hence giving inaccurate measurements when taking the change in length of the rod. Since the experiment is all about linear expansion,it involves heat also. This heat is the one that would heat the rod and after the heat would be uniformly conducted throughout the bar,it would also heat the micrometer screw gauge at the end. This is the reason why it should be reset back from the end of the rod(to avoid it's heating)
Which unit is best for measuring the thickness of a dictionary?
Millimeters, or centimeters.
