The caliper or "pinch an inch" can be fairly reasonable if the tester administered the test correctly. They might not have placed it in the right spot or could have even not separated the muscle from the fat , which would give false readings.

What are the key differences between a vernier caliper and a digital caliper, and which one is more accurate for precise measurements?

A vernier caliper uses a sliding scale with a main scale and a vernier scale to measure length, while a digital caliper uses electronic sensors to provide a digital readout. Digital calipers are generally more accurate for precise measurements due to their digital display and ability to provide measurements in decimal form.


Why is vernier caliper or a micrometer gauge more accurate for taking measurements than a meter stick?

The caliper and micrometer use a dial or digital readout to measure the distance between the tips. The tolerances of these tools can be under .001 inch, making them extremely accurate.
