🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify where the zero mark of the vernier scale falls between two inch marks on the main scale in figure E. • Recall how a standard vernier caliper in inches is read: whole inches + main-scale fraction + vernier coincidence. • Understand the difference between 0.112 inch vs 0.125 inch (1/8 inch) when reading fine divisions.

💭 Think About

• First, decide between which two whole-inch marks the zero of the vernier scale lies. What does that tell you about the base (whole-inch) reading? • Next, look along the vernier scale to find the single vernier line that lines up exactly with a line on the main scale. How many thousandths of an inch does that aligned line represent? • Compare that vernier value to 0.112 and 0.125. Based on the spacing you see, which seems to match the layout of the scale?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you have the correct figure (E) and are not accidentally reading A–D or F. • Confirm the whole-inch value from the main scale before adding any vernier fraction. • Verify exactly which vernier division aligns with a main-scale division; count carefully from zero and convert that count to the final decimal inches.
