Question

How do you determine the pitch of a spherometer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Note one pitch scale division on the pitch scale or vertical scale.

Take 5 full rotations on the central screw.

Measure the distance moved by the screw.

Hence, Pitch = Distance moved /number of full rotations.

Answer 2

Answer:

pitch = distance moved/no of complete rotations

Explanation:

The spherometer is based on the principle of micrometer screw. Its pitch is given by :

pitch = distance moved/no of complete rotations

There are some steps to find the pitch of a spherometer.

Step 1. Take 5 full rotations on the central screw.

Step 2. Measure the distance moved by the screw.

Step 3. Now find the pitch using the above formula.

Hence, this is the required solution.
