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.
When a screw gauge with a least count of 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.

Figure shows the position of vernier scale while measuring the external length of a wooden cylinder.
- What is the length recorded by the main scale?
- Which reading of vernier scale coincides with the main scale?
- Calculate the length.
(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.
