SolutionSolution The reading of the gauge The reading of the gauge = 4.50 + 0.21 = 4.71 mm= 4.50 + 0.21 = 4.71 mm (a) Size of object =Reading- Zero Erro(a) Size of object =Reading- Zero Erro
= 4.71 – (+0.01)= 4.71 – (+0.01) = 4.70 mm= 4.70 mm
(b) Size of object = Reading – Zero (b) Size of object = Reading – Zero ErrorError
= 4.71-(-0.03)= 4.71-(-0.03) = 4.74 mm= 4.74 mm
