Answer:

the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw

Step-by-step explanation:

The high precision measurements of small parts are the general vernier and the micrometer screw.

In these two instruments the same principle is used: there is a fixed rule and a mobile one that increases precision.

Let's analyze the absolute error or precision of each instrument

* For the vernier, the precision of the fixed rule is 1 mm and there are 20 divisions (the most common); therefore the precision of the instrument is

Δx = 1 mm / 20

Δx = 0.05 mm

* For the micrometer screw, the precision of the fida rule is 0.5 mm and the number of divisions is 50, therefore the precision of the screw is

Δx = 0.5mm / 50

Δx = 0.01 mm

consequently the instrument that gives this precision is the micrometer screw
