1) The document describes a lab experiment to measure the thickness of a wire and diameter of a sphere using a screw gauge. 2) Key steps of the procedure include measuring the zero correction and least count of the screw gauge, then using it to measure the diameter of the wire and sphere multiple times. 3) Calculations are shown to determine the mean diameter, radius, and volume of the wire and sphere based on the screw gauge measurements and relevant formulas.

Theory:
(a). Volume of given wire = πr2 h in m3
Where r = radius of wire (in m)
H=length of wire (in m)
(b). Volume of sphere = (4/3) πr3 (m3)
Where r=radius of sphere (in m)

Procedure:
 Measure the zero correction and least count of screw gauge.
 Measure the diameter of given wire and sphere using screw gauge.
 Find PSR,HSR and CHSR using screw gauge.
 Calculate PSR+ (CHSRxLC).
 Measure the length of given wire by using meter scale.
 Find volume of wire and sphere using the formula V = πr2 h&V
( 4/3)πr3.
 Repeat the experiment 4 to 5 times.

Observations and calculations:


Least count = It is the smallest measurement that which any measuring instrument can measure
accurately ( value of one division = L.C)
Pitch of the screw=Distance moved/no. of rotations made
=4mm/4
1mm
Least count(LC)=Pitch of the screw /Total no of circular scale divisions.
=1mm/100
=0.01mm
Length of the given wire h = 100 cm.
= 0.1 mm.

Precautions:
1. At a time rotate the screw in one direction to avoid blacklash error.
2. Zero error should be observed carefully and taken into consederation.

Sources of error:
1. The wire may not be of uniform section.
2. Blacklash error may not be exist because it connot be removed carefully.

Result:
a.
Diameter of given wire d =8.09 m
Volume of wire V = 10.08 m3
b.
Diameter of sphere d = 8.09 m
Volume of sphere V = 10.09 m3
References:
Practical performed in LAB.

Conclusion:
To find the diameter thickness of wire and to measure the diameter of sphere.
