It is given that 5 main scale division of a vernier caliper coincide with 6 vernier scale divisions. When jaws are closed zeros of both scale do not coincide and has a negative zero error. Find magnitude of this zero error in mm. 1 main scale division is equal to 1mm.

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. Choose the correct option(s).

Q. While measuring the zero error of a vernier we see that zero of vernier scale is to the right of the zero marking of the main scale with

6^{t h}

vernier division coinciding with main scale divisions. If the least count of the vernier is 0.1 mm then find its zero error and the correction reuired in the measurements made by it.

Q. 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. The zero error of the vernier callipers is

3 \times 10^{- x} c m

. Find the value of x.

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 : (i) the least count and (ii) the zero error of the vernier callipers.
