Which reading is more reliable with a metric ruler or a vernier caliper why?

It depends on what you are trying to measure. If you are measuring the length of a car, for example, any reading obtained using vernier callipers is likely to be totally useless.
The key is to select a tool that is appropriate to the task.

Why is vernier caliper versatile?
It can be used to measure internal as well as external dimensions, and depths of features like steps and blind holes, in small components. Nowadays many machinists etc use digital calipers - which are NOT vernier! - that have dual inch/metric units and often dual decimal/vulgar-fraction readings on the inch settings.
For what is a digital vernier used?
A digital vernier is mainly used to measure lengths or distances very accurately. These may be internal or external distances. The distance may be read as either metric or imperial.
What is a metric caliper?
something that s used to measure to small fractions of a millimetre. I can't believe you dont know a metric capliers
What is definition of metric data?
Metric data is any reading which is at least at an interval scale, as opposed to non metric data, which can be nominal or ordinal. Weight, height, distance, revenue, cost etc. are interval scales or above. Hence they are metric data. On the other hand, satisfaction ratings, Yes/No responses, Male/Female readings etc., are non metric data.
How was the metric act of 1866 important?
The "Metric Act of 1866" was significant because it recognized the metric system as a legal system of measurement in the United States. Basically, it said that the metric system was reliable enough to be used in the U.S. The act is sometimes referred to as the Kasson Act, after Congressman John A. Kasson of Iowa, who chaired the House Committee on Coinage, Weights, and Measures.
What metric unit would you use to measure the width of a book?
Most like a vernier caliper for accurate readings
In the vernier caliper which is more accurate the british system or metric system?
If the caliper is properly calibrated, then neither system is more accurate. Accuracy depends on the quality of the measuring, not the unit used.
What is burner caliper?
I think this is meant to be "Vernier Caliper". It is an instrument used to measure objects to limits to fine to read by rule. It consists of two parts. ' 1) A metal bar engraved as a rule, with a blade at right angles to one end, so 'L-'-shaped, and ' 2) A block with a similar blade, sliding on the fixed (Part 1), so forming a pair of adjustable jaws brought into contact with the item to be measured. On the slide is another scale, and this is the Vernier part: if it does not have this, the instrument is a caliper but not a Vernier Caliper. This Vernier scale is engraved in such a way that it has a compounding effect on the adjacent fixed rule, so magnifying the measurements to a readable equivalent. ' The inch-series vernier can read to 1/1000", the metric version to (I think), 0.01mm. I stand to be corrected on that last because I have a metric caliper but it is digital, not vernier!
What are the technical limits to measurement with the vernier caliper and micrometer?
A standard Micrometer using the Metric system has a limitation of measuring to within 0.01 (one hundredth of a millimeter) But micrometers provided with a vernier scale on the sleeve in addition to the regular graduations, permit measurements to within 0.001 millimetre to be made on metric micrometers, or 0.0001 inches on inch-system micrometers.
What is least count of vernier caliper?
Least count of vernier caliper= 1 MSD - 1 VSD. Main scale usually would have 1 mm as the minimum division. Such 9 divisions, ie 9 mm would be divided into ten equal parts in the vernier. So VSD = 0.9 mm Hence the least count = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 mm If the same is to be given in centimetre, then it will be 0.01 cm.
What is the smallest unit shown on the metric ruler?
1/16 of an inch. any smaller and the lines start to blur and make the ruler unusable.Answer:A machinists ruler may be divided into units of 1/64 th of an inch.
How do you calculate least count of the vernier caliper for digital?
The least count of the vernier can be measured by using the formula stated below. Least count (L.C) = 1 M.S.D - 1 V.S.D Example; vernier scale is constructed by taking 49 main scale divisions dividing them into 50 divisions ie. 49mm divided into 50 parts therfore 1 vsd=49/50 mm=0.98mm 1 MSD=1mm substituting in formula L.C = 1 M.S.D - 1 V.S.D L.C=1-0.98=0.02mm
