Solution
1 MSD = 1 mm
10 VSD = 9 mm
1 VSD =`9/10`mm
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD
=`1/10`MSD
=`1/10` x 1 mm = 0.1 mm
= 0.01 cm

Which of the following measures a small length to high accuracy : metre rule , vernier callipers or screw gauge?
The diameter of a thin wire can be measured by
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.
A micrometre screw gauge has a positive zero error of 7 divisions, such that its main scale is marked in 1/2 mm and the circular scale has 100 divisions. The spindle of the screw advances by 1 division complete rotation.
If this screw gauge reading is 9 divisions on the main scale and 67 divisions on the circular scale for the diameter of a thin wire, calculate

- L.C.
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter
