Question
What is the need for measuring length with vernier callipers?
Advertisements
Solution
For measuring the exact length with greater accuracy, especially when we are measuring a very small length, we use an appliance vernier calliper. A vernier calliper can measure accurately up to 1/100 the part of a centimetre.
