- What is the length recorded by the main scale?

- Which reading of vernier scale coincides with the main scale?
- Calculate the length.
In figure for vernier callipers, calculate the length recorded.

(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.
