Why hand micrometer conforms to the principles of alignment and a vernier caliper does not?
micrometer conforms to abbe's principle because the graduations are located along the same axis as the measurement while vernier caliper does not because the graduations are not on the same axis as the measurement.
Name and describe two types of outside caliper?
A vernier caliper has a moving jaw and a fixed jaw. The moving jaw has marks to set against the ruled divisions on the stem of the fixed jaw. A micrometer caliper has a micrometer clock gage whose hand turns to provide the fine divisions added to the marked scale.
Why is it appropriate to use the meter rule for measuring the length of a copper wire but the micrometer screwgauge for the diameter?
A meter rule is apropriate as it can measure up to unlimited meter while micrometer is suitable for diameter since it has a high degree of accuracy to small diameters in millimeters.
Tool use to calibrate a micrometer?
Calibrating micrometers: For quick reference the supplied test piece can be used. For calibrating a micrometer, gauge blocks are used.
What is the use of micrometer?
A micrometer is used to measure very small distances.
Who Would Use The Micrometer Caliper?
An engineer or scientist.
What would you use to measure the diameter of a marble?
I would use a micrometer. A caliper would do as well.
When do you use the micrometer caliper?

How do you measure the width of a pencil?
A vernier caliper would be a good way, unless you need a more accurate measurement, in which case I might use a micrometer caliper.
Least count of micrometer caliper in millimeter?
A micrometer caliper is a measuring device for finding very exact measurements of an item. The least count of a micrometer caliper in millimeter is 0.02.
Advantage and disadvantage using meter stick vernier caliper and the micrometer caliper?
A meter stick caliper is very large and would make general measurements. A micrometer caliper is much smaller and can be used to make much smaller measurements.
What is more accurate in measuring the density of an object the vernier caliper or the micrometer caliper?
micrometer is more occurate.
What is best to use for measuring a pencil?
If you have to measure the pencil to a couple decimal places i would suggest a micrometer and a dial caliper.
What is the other name of micrometer?
