Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A cylinder is measured with a vernier caliper, resulting in a reading of 45.7 mm. If the error due to parallax is ±0.05 mm, what is the potential range of the cylinder's diameter?

💡 Hint: Apply the error range to find the minimum and maximum measures.

Question 2

Design an experiment that utilizes a vernier caliper to measure the dimensions (length, width, height) of a rectangular block. Detail the process and expected outcomes.

💡 Hint: Make sure to detail how to keep the measurements consistent.
