The zero error of a vernier is +2. Its zero correction is (take L.C =0.01cm)
A boy uses a vernier callipers to measure the thickness of his pencil. He measures it to be 1.4 mm. If the zero error of vernier callipers is + 0.02 cm, what is the correct thickness of pencil ?
In a vernier callipers, there are 10 divisions on the vernier scale and 1 cm on the main scale is divided in 10 parts. While measuring a length, the zero of the vernier lies just ahead of 1.8 cm mark and 4th division of vernier coincides with a main scale division.
(a) Find the length.
(b) If zero error of vernier callipers is - 0.02 cm, what is the correct length ?
