∙ 14y agoIf a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading?
5.565 - 0.025 = 5.54 so caliper reads 5.54 cm
If the zero reading on the vernier calipers is -0.025 cm with the reading still 5.565cm, it is 5.565 - (-0.025) = 5.565 + 0.025 = 5.59 cm

∙ 14y agoThe correct reading would be 5.540 cm. This is calculated by subtracting the zero error from the actual reading - in this case, 5.565 cm - 0.025 cm = 5.540 cm.
The zero reading of a vernier caliper is when the jaws are closed and the main scale '0' mark aligns perfectly with the zero mark on the vernier scale. This is the reference point for taking measurements with the vernier caliper.
To calibrate a combination square, you can check the accuracy of the 90-degree angle by placing the square against a known straight edge to verify that it is square. You can also use a protractor to measure the angle. If the square is out of alignment, you may need to adjust it by loosening the screw on the ruler and repositioning it until it reads 90 degrees.
Take out a ruler with English and metric units. Draw one inch on a piece of paper with a pen. Now turn to the other side of the ruler and read how long your line is. It should be around 2.5 cm. If you were able to refine your measurement (say with a vernier caliper) you would see that your line would be 2.54 cm (or 25.4 mm).
One way to increase your reading rate is to practice timed repeated readings.
"as a result" is the correct phrase to use. "As the result" is not grammatically correct.

The vernier caliper is more accurate that a plastic ruler. That's because the caliper is designed to be used and effectively read to measure small distances. And it does this better than a "regular" ruler because it has a vernier scale built into it. It's like an "amplified ruler" attached to the device that has increased accuracy. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the vernier caliper and to the one on the vernier scale. Check out the pictures and skim the details. You should be able to pick it up with a bit of thought.
There are several conclusion for Vernier calipers. One is that in comparison to other tools like micrometers, they have less accuracy. Regardless, the Vernier calipers seem to allow a larger measurement range leading to better versatility.
dafuq is this even english?!
A vernier caliper should be used to measure the diameter of a steel ball.
The zero error of a measuring instrument is the measure that it shows when it should actually be showing zero.
It depends how accurately you can read the scale. A ruler would only be accurate to 1 mm. If the caliper has a vernier scale it should be ten times better

Zero error is defined as the condition where a measuring instrument registers a reading when there should not be any reading. In case of Vernier calipers it occurs when a zero on main scale does not coincide with a zero on Vernier scale. Source: calculatored and written by Shaun Murphy
No, it makes complete nonsense reading "you had this......... "You should have had this yesterday!"
JSGPM sizing tool....or a six inch caliper!
When the digital caliper jaws are closed without a part, the reading should be zero. This ensures that accurate measurements start from a baseline of zero before taking any measurements. If the reading is not zero when the jaws are closed, it may indicate a need for calibration or adjustment.
