alleryFor an accurate micrometer reading, the instrument and object should both be at:
AFreezing point of water
BRoom temperature
CBoiling point of water
DBody temperature
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Room temperature
Both the micrometer and the object should be at room temperature so thermal expansion does not distort the reading.
