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 the pencil?

उत्तर
Thickness of the pencil (observed reading) = 1.4 mm
Zero error = + 0.02 cm = + 0.2 mm
Correct reading = observed reading - zero error (with sign)
= 1.4 mm - 0.2 mm
= 1.2 mm
