Draw a neat and labelled diagram of a vernier callipers. Name its main parts and state their functions.
State three uses of the vernier callipers.
The least count of a vernier calipers is :
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.
The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.0025 cm and it has an error of + 0.0125 cm. While measuring the length of a cylinder, the reading on the main scale is 7.55 cm, and the 12th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale. Calculate the corrected length.
The main scale reading while measuring the thickness of a rubber ball using Vernier caliper is 7 cm and the Vernier scale coincidence is 6. Find the radius of the ball.
How will you find the Zero Error of Vernier Caliper? Explain.
A Vernier calliper reads a main scale reading of 2.3 cm and the 5th division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. If the least count is 0.01 cm, what is the actual reading?
