प्रश्न
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 the vernier scale is ahead of the zero of the main scale and the 3rd division of the vernier
scale coincides with a main scale division.
Find : (i) The least count and
(ii) The zero error of the vernier callipers.

उत्तर
(i) Value of 1 m.s.d. =1 mm
10 vernier divisions = 9 m.s.d.
L.C. = Value of 1 m.s.d./number of divisions on the vernier scale
= 1 mm/10
= 0.1 mm or 0.01 cm
(ii) On bringing the jaws together, the zero of the vernier scale is ahead of zero of the main scale, the error is positive.
3rd vernier division coincides with a main scale division.
Total no. of vernier divisions = 10
Zero error = +3 × L.C.
= +3 × 0.01 cm
= +0.03 cm
