Which instrument is used for measuring the duration of an event?

A micrometer screw gauge is more suitable than Vernier calipers for measuring:

A digital stopwatch can measure time more accurately because it may measure up to:

If the zero of the Vernier scale is to the left of the zero of the main scale, the correction is made by:

To read the volume of water in a measuring cylinder correctly, the eye should be:

If the zero of the Vernier scale is to the right of the zero of the main scale, the instrument shows:

The displacement can method is useful when a solid body:
