I. Diameter of a small ball bearing.
II. Thickness of a pieces of paper.
III. Diameter of a measuring cylinder.
IV. Length of a piece of wire.
Which of the above can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?
II. Thickness of a pieces of paper.
III. Diameter of a measuring cylinder.
IV. Length of a piece of wire.
Which of the above can be measured using a micrometer screw gauge?
I, II and IV only .
I and II only
II and III only
III and IV only
Explanation
Of all the instruments used in measuring length,the micrometer screw gauge has the highest reading accuracy (0.01 mm), and is therefore used in measuring very small length such as diameter of a small ball bearing, and thickness of a piece of paper.
