main scale is the least accurate reading on the device. the vernier scale uses an offset of divions that only allows one "line" or division to line up with the scale below. This scale is more accurate than the main scale. for example, the main scale may produce an accuracy of 0.125 of and inch plus or minus 0.125 of an inch, whereas the vernier would produce an accuracy of 0.025 of and inch. therefore if two divivions of the main scale and one division of the vernier scale were combined it would prodice and reading of (0.125+0.125+0.025 = 0.275) inches.
What is a thimble on a vernier scale?
the modified mercalli scale was VII-VIII
There are 2 ways.Richter scale. This is an objective method, and is a scale of 1-10, each 0.1 increase in size is a 10 fold increase in power. (it is only possible, even with a mega-thrust quake to reach 9 on the Richter scale). This is the most accurate and commonly used scaleMercalli Scale. This is a subjective scale, and the reading is based on the damage done by the earthquake. It is a scale of roman numerals between 1-14.
The metric temperature scale is called the Celsius scale. The scale divides the range of temperatures between freezing and boiling at standard atmospheric condition into 100 equal parts.
Concerning that the highest reading is 7, so a 6.3 Richter can cause very big damage
where on the vernier caliper would you read to obtain the vernier scale reading
No unit for vernier scale coincidence. But as we multiply it by least count which has unit then we get vernier scale reading with the same unit. Of course main scale reading and vernier scale reading would have the same unit
To take a main scale reading, identify the whole number on the main scale that is to the left of the zero mark on the vernier scale. Then, identify the vernier scale division that aligns closely with a division on the main scale. Add the main scale reading and the vernier scale reading together to get the final measurement.
Their Vernier scale consists of two readings; the Vernier scale and the main scale. One can read that by the first line is the main scale and the next line is the Vernier reading.
You would read the main scale reading on the vernier caliper from the scale that is closest to the object being measured. The vernier scale reading is obtained by noting which vernier scale division aligns with a main scale division. The combined main scale reading and vernier scale reading provide the precise measurement of the object.
Vernier scale consists of main scale and vernier scale. The first line or the zeroth line coinciding with the main scale reading is the main scale reading. The vernier line except zeroth line coinciding with any line on main scale is the main scale reading.
We need two readings. One is Main scale reading and the other is vernier scale reading. Main scale reading will be read on the main scale. We need an indicator to read it. Right? The marking ie zero of the vernier is that indicator. So the reading on the main scale which has been just crossed by zero of the vernier is taken as Main scale reading. Now to get VSR, we need vernier scale coincidence. How do we get this? Any one of the divisions of the vernier will be found coincided with some divisions marked on the main scale. We don't worry about that main scale division but we concentrate only on the vernier scale division. This is VSC This VSC is to be multiplied by least count. So VSC x LC gives the VSR Now MSR + VSR gives the accurate reading.
The zero reading of a vernier caliper is when the jaws are closed and the main scale '0' mark aligns perfectly with the zero mark on the vernier scale. This is the reference point for taking measurements with the vernier caliper.
First we keep the body in between the jaws of the caliper. Then we note the main scale reading and then vernier coincidence. Vernier coincidence is to be multiplied by the least count of the device. This is added with the main scale. That will be the required value of the dimensions of the object.
It can, but the vernier is capable of a more accurate reading.
The main scale is before the zero line of the vernier scale.
The zero error for a Vernier caliper is the systematic error that occurs when the jaws do not exactly close at zero. The reading uncertainty for a Vernier caliper typically depends on the precision of the scale divisions, with the main scale usually indicating whole millimeters and the Vernier scale providing readings to the nearest 0.02 mm.
