A Vernier caliper is an instrument that can achieve an accuracy of 0.05 cm, according to Gauthmath.
Explanation:
Vernier calipers are designed to measure lengths with greater precision than a standard meter rule. A standard meter rule typically has a least count (or accuracy) of 0.1 cm (1 mm). Vernier calipers, on the other hand, can measure lengths to the nearest 0.01 cm (0.1 mm). This makes them more accurate for measuring smaller lengths and thicknesses.
Other Instruments:
Meter rule: Has an accuracy of 0.1 cm (1 mm).
Micrometer screw gauge: Measures with even greater accuracy, typically to 0.001 cm (0.01 mm).
Spring balance: Used for measuring mass, not length.
