Zorluk: KolayMeasurement of Length and Measuring Instruments

A micrometer screw gauge with a positive zero error of +0.04 mm+0.04\text{ mm} gives an observed reading of 2.46 mm2.46\text{ mm} when measuring the diameter of a thin wire. What is the actual diameter of the wire?

  4. D

Cevap

The actual diameter of the wire is 2.42 mm2.42\text{ mm}.
To calculate the actual reading on a measuring instrument, use the relationship Actual Reading=Observed Reading−Zero Error\text{Actual Reading} = \text{Observed Reading} - \text{Zero Error}. Subtracting +0.04 mm+0.04\text{ mm} from 2.46 mm2.46\text{ mm} yields 2.42 mm2.42\text{ mm}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the given readings
Observed reading = 2.46 mm2.46\text{ mm}, Zero error = +0.04 mm+0.04\text{ mm}
Extract values needed for zero error correction.
2
Apply zero error correction formula
Actual Reading=Observed Reading−Zero Error=2.46 mm−(+0.04 mm)=2.42 mm\text{Actual Reading} = \text{Observed Reading} - \text{Zero Error} = 2.46\text{ mm} - (+0.04\text{ mm}) = 2.42\text{ mm}
A positive zero error means the instrument reads higher than true zero, so the zero error must be subtracted from the observed reading.
