My practical are tomorrow and I'm watching this at 12pm at night. For someone who has exam tomorrow, this doesn't seem like a good time to be awake. Good luck to all those night owls who stay up late and get up early with no energy drain. I do.
Good luck on your exam! You got this! Remember: Every complete turn of the micrometer is 0.5mm. Just count the marks on the main barrel (bit that doesn't turn) to find the total number of complete turns and then use the marks on the barrel (bit that does turn) to get the fraction of the last incomplete turn.
SUPER USEFUL!!! The textbook had barely any details on how to actually use the micrometer, and you showed it in such a clear and logical sequence (with epic music in the background, too). Thank you
exactly what i needed, great video! Got my Physics P3 A levels tomorrow and i realised last min that i dont know how to youse a micro meter. Bigtime thanks!
Thank you. Exactly what I needed, no more, no less. Mainly wasn't sure what the ratchet was for, but a confirmation on reading the dial was great as well, thanks again.
Okay so I got the first measure of 12 right but I’m confused on the second measurement. What’s the sleeve line? I don’t understand where ya got 0.105 mm from?
Thank you so very much for the help with this video I really appreciate the assistance with this quick "How To Use" explanation when using a Micrometer
haha best quality video I've found on the topic but yet has no commentary but music like da fuq (still understanding thanks) and just realized this metric
Because it's halfway between the 10 mark (12.10) and 11 mark (12.11) on the barrel. The 0.005 is actually an estimation since it doesn't perfectly line up with the 10 or 11 marks, but it's better than recording the measurement as 12.10mm or 12.11mm since it's between the two.
After years of people complaining about the music, let me say that you are my new favourite person! The music in the vid (and all our vids) are Apple Garageband "jingles"
hey I know it's a physical channel but I learned how micrometers work and watched this video just to know "if we can possibly measure cells of an organism?" which are mostly between the range of 10-100 microns. and it seems like this tool's accuracy is 10 microns but really? can we really measure a cell with it? any answer (and from anyone) will be appreciated!
Thank you for your video, just one question. In the video, the length you measured is 12.105mm, but on your micrometer, it says "0.01mm" which means that the smallest scale should be 0.01mm, so I thought the 0.005mm should not be included in the length and it should be measured as 12.10mm?
Listen, so yeah the lowest division line is 0.01 mm. When you have a line exactly between the two divisions then the lowest measurement you can take is half the uncertainty value for the lowest division. If you have a ruler that can measure values to the nearest 1 mm then values should be taken in consideration of half that value. So you are able to record for 0.5 mm. Only 0.5 mm no other number since that's half of the lowest scale reading on the ruler.
You estimate the fraction of the division. *FYI* Many imperial micrometers measure, not to 1/100th of an inch, not even to 1/1,000th of an inch, but to 1/10,000th of an inch.
Hi Neil. I don't know your settings but you can reduce the music volume yourself with the volume control. As for the speed of the video, you can also control that in the TH-cam player settings. Since all the info is in the video (audio is just music), you can pause and rewind without missing anything.
+Sharma SS That's obvious. Keep rotating the ratchet until the barrel stops and note the measurements at that time. the sleeve will be at 0 so you just have to find whats on the barrel to get the zero error (it will be 0.___ where ___ is the number you got on the barrel). Then you just subtract that number from all your readings to correct the zero error.
+J. S.M. (Zantorym) Yes, but is it not the case that micrometers are measured against standard size block to verify accuracy? This is not "zeroing" the tool, technically, but it is still quite important. My understanding is most machinists do this at least once every calendar quarter (4X per year).
+Tom Renda as far as I'm concerned that is not done in the 11th grade physics practical finals. pretty much every Indian watching this video is here due to their exam.
"Close the spindle and make sure the zero line on the barrel lines up with the line on the sleeve." But you don't say what to do, if they don't line up. Also, at the end of the video, you left the spindle in contact with the anvil, which isn't a good way to store a micrometer.
there's a little hole on the sleeve. You'll need some sort of a spanner to fix it. Turn the barrel all the way to 0. Now take you're spanner, put in the little hole and turn the sleeve in such a way that it coincides the sleeve 0 to the 0 on the barrel
@@BedsitBob yeah probably, but in most schools/colleges where they need to perform this experiment, they just take it positive zero error / negative zero error according and just calculate the lengths. So even if there is zero error, you could just change your formula/calculations accordingly instead of correcting the zero error.
@@BedsitBob As a student, if you know the formula, it's not that complicated at all. You just have to subtract the zero error from the measured value, that's it. Saves time, easy and comes in handy if you dont have a spanner to adjust it.
All ya had to do is not put that background noise in the video and say a few words..... nope you decided to go the extra mile to mess it up with your terrible instrumental selection....

Thank you. Exactly what I needed, no more, no less. Mainly wasn't sure what the ratchet was for, but a confirmation on reading the dial was great as well, thanks again.
Glad it was helpful. And yeah, the ratchet is mainly there just to keep you from over-tightening (and possibly damaging) the screw.
i know right !
Loved you're simple but clear explanation!... thank you very much! :D
1- Very Helpful
2- What a wonderful music!! Love it
Thank you for the nice words! We're glad it was helpful!
Nice film which explains things very well, I didn't know about the 0.005 bit, but I do now, thanks JP
no problem!

+Rohitendra Chatterjee Good luck on the practical!
This helps very much thank you!! But where did you get the .105 from?

+Guitar Swift Good luck on the practical!
+Guitar Swift lol! beat me..mine are in 2 hours --'.
good luck!;)
same ahahaha
2018 AS physics practical in 45 minutes and I’m only watching this now lol
mines in 35 mins 2018 watching this on data as i ride the bus FML
thank you! All ready for my advanced higher physics experiment tomorrow 😎
Great video!
But I think where I'm still confused is the ratchet. How do you know how many times you should turn the ratchet when measuring?
The ratchet will stop closing the micrometer when it meets resistance. So it doesn't matter how many times you turn it once it starts clicking.
This really helped! Now I know how to use a Micrometer for school
Excellent tutorial, thank you....
Thanks a lot for this vedio this really helps
At 0:29, do you mean sleeve instead of barrel?
The two words are equally valid.
Thank u was really helpful
Well illustrated
very well presented !!!
well done !!
thanks a lot !!!!
Thanks for the kind words!
@@SMUPhysicsyou are welcome my friend
nyc track whats its name
Cool music Gaelic pride :D
Hello i still cant get the 0.105 measurement pls reply.. thanks!
He estimated the fraction of the division.
It was pretty much in the middle, hence 0.005mm
With practice, you can estimate to 0.0025mm, or finer.
Thanks! I’m doing an engine rebuild and just ordered a set. I’d watched it before but didn’t figure it out, this time I did.
Glad you found it useful!

Happy to help!
Also, never touch the spindle. The heat of your hands makes the spindle expand, making your reading inaccurate.
Thank you so much
Thank you!
Thank you 👍🏻
very helpful
good job
thank u soo much
Really helped in exams
God bless you
thanks a lot
Isn't the screw gauge precise to the second decimal point in millimeters ??? Then how come it is 12.105 mm ?
He estimated the fraction of the division.
Tank you
Awesome Music
Thanks!
Great vid, did not know about zeroing. Thanks.
love the music
Thanks!
And thank you so much
well explained👍👍
nothing was explained
How you figure out is 12.105mm and not 12.104mm or 12.106?

It was pretty much in the middle, hence 0.005mm
With practice, you can estimate to 0.0025mm, or finer.

Nice video .
Thanks!
This music is steal away, reprise
Closing the faces of the micrometer will damage them. There should always be a gap between them.
Agreed that they should never be forced closed. The ratchet at the end should allow you to close them safely.
@@SMUPhysics I think Boogies24 means for storage.
why the music on this video tho ?
because it is physics core
This is scottish dubstep music
Good to know. Thanks.
w video
thank you.this is the easiest and simple way
Slow down, and reduce the music volume... give me a chance to attend to what is being demonstrated please!

Buh it was useful anyways thanks

This background song is completely annoying when I’m trying to focus on what a micro meter does
I do feel that the bgm is hyping me up so that I don't get sleep while learning this stuff xd
Yes, especially since we don't have the ability to mute it in app/browser on screen
I got 10.2 Im a FAILURE!!!! :(
music gave me depression
Lol go listen to maralyn manson somewhere else you sewer rat
Wtf is that tune 💀
same question bro
Why would you add music???? Just ruined all my concentration
All the explanation is visible in the video. You can turn down the audio and miss nothing.
The damn music is distracting
Just turn it off. All the info is in the video and subtitles.
Too Fricking fast, i can't concentrate on video and read at the same time
Sorry about the speed. It is possible to play it at slower speed or you can just pause it while you process the info.
Umm so pause the video. Jeez, have some initiative
All ya had to do is not put that background noise in the video and say a few words..... nope you decided to go the extra mile to mess it up with your terrible instrumental selection....
Sorry the volume control on your device is broken. Please see the bursar for a full refund.
this music is really annoying
That's why they invented volume control! Plus, since there's no narration, you won't miss any of the explanation!
+SMUPhysics i find the music quite good
i actually wanna know the song name
+SMUPhysics still i think it's annoying...it gives me a headache
lol you can just mute that you know
Nobody Nobody agreed wrong setting for the music like it's okay music just wrong setting
👎🏻 - Maybe don't blare the music.
The music is only as loud as your speakers make it.
