What is the thickness of the object ?
Zero error = + 0.04 mm Reading = 1.50 + 0.39 mm
= 1.89 mm
Actual reading = 1.89 – (+ 0.04) mm
= 1.89 – 0.04 mm
= 1.85 mm

What is the thickness of the object ?
Zero error = - 0.04 mm Reading = 3.00 + 0.24 mm
= 3.24 mm
Actual reading = 3.24 – (- 0.04) mm
= 3.24 + 0.04 mm
= 3.28 mm
