SUMMARY/CONCLUSION

  1. Measurement is an activity to compare a quanity with another quantity that is assigned as unit. To measure the quantity of length, we can use a vernier caliper.
  2. The vernier consists of a main scale engraved on a fixed jaw and an vernier scale engraved on a movable/sliding jaw.
  3. The steps of reading the scale of a vernier caliper are: 
  • Read the main scale that coincides with the zero vernier scale.
  • Read the vernier scale that is joint  vertically with the main scale.
