A vernier cal...

Question

A vernier callipers has its main scale graduated in mm and 10 divisions on its vernier scale are equal in length to 9 mm. When the two jaws are in contact the zero of vernier scale is ahead of zero of main scale and 3rd division of vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Find (1)the least count and (2) the zero error of the vernier calliper.

, while the vernier scale have

20

divisions. When fixed jaw touches with movable jaw, zero of vernier scale lies on the right of the zero of the main scale and

15 t h

division of vernier scaled coincides with any division of main scale. What is the type of zero error and its value?

Q. Consider a vernier caliper. Least count of main scale is

1 m m

. There are 20 equispaced marks on vernier scale. When nothing is put between the jaws, zero of main scale lies between zero and first division of vernier scale and 15th division of vernier exactly coincide with one of the main scale division. When zero of vernier is matched with zero of main scale, 20th division of vernier exactly coincides with 25th division of main scale. To measure the side of a cuboid, it is kept between the jaws of vernier caliper, it is now observed that 18th division of vernier exactly coincides with 32th division of main scale.
