A screw gauge is used to measure the thickness of a thin sheet. Which statements are correct?
Select all that apply
Using a stack of many identical sheets can reduce the fractional uncertainty in the thickness of one sheet.
Backlash can be reduced by taking the final reading while rotating the screw in the same direction.
A positive zero error must be added to the observed reading.
For LC = p/N, decreasing p while keeping N fixed improves resolution.
