What is zero error of screw gauge?

When the anvil and spindle end are brought in contact, the edge of the circular scale should be at the zero of the sleeve (linear scale) and the zero of the circular scale should be opposite to the datum line of the sleeve. If the zero is not coinciding with the datum line, there will be a positive or negative zero error as shown in figure below.

If you are standing on a scale holding 1 pound of water and then drink the 1 pound of water does your weight change?

Your weight, or the weight registered on the scale? Your weight will increase by one pound, but the weight registered on the scale will remain the same. If you stand on the scale, note your weight, pick up the water (using a very light, perhaps paper cup), note the weight after you are holding the water, and then drink, and put down the cup, you will see what happens.
