Solution
No. of circular scale division = 100
Pitch =0.5 mm
= `(0.5 "mm")/100`
= 0.005 mm
L.C. = 0.005 mm = 0.0005 cm
Main scale reading = 4.5 mm = 0.45 cm
(C.S.D.) circular scale reading = 73 division
Observed diameter of wire = Main scale reading + L.C. × C.S.D.
= 0.45 + 0.0005 × 73
= 0.45 + 0.0365
= 0.4865 cm

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.
