The diameter of the steel ball is measured using a vernier caliper which has divisions of 0.1 cm on its main scale nad 10 division of its vernier scale match 9 division on the main scale. Three such measurements for a ball are as follows. If the zero error is 0.03cm , then mean corrected diameter is ............. cm.

Show that a screw gauge of pitch I mm and 100 divisions is more precise than a vernier caliper with 20 divisions on the sliding scale.

Assertion: The least value that can be measured using screw gauges, vernier calipers is called least count. Reason:The magnitude of difference between the true value and the measured value is called relative error or fractional error.

The least count of stop watch is 0.5s. The time of 40 oscillation of the pendulum is found to be 40s. The percentage error in the measurement of time period is ……………… %
