Question
While measuring the length of a rod with a vernier callipers, below shows the position of its scales. What is the length of the rod?

Solution
L.C. of vernier callipers = 0.01 cm
In the shown scale,
Main scale reading = 3.3 cm
The 6th vernier division coincides with an m.s.d.
Therefore, vernier scale reading = 6 × 0.01 cm = 0.06 cm
Total reading = M.S.R. + V.S.R.
= 3.3 + 0.06
= 3.36 cm

Which part of vernier callipers is used to measure the external diameter of a cylinder?
A micrometre screw gauge having a positive zero error of 5 divisions is used to measure diameter of a wire, when reading on the main scale is 3rd division and the 48th circular scale division coincides with baseline. If the micrometer has 10 divisions to a centimetre on the main scale and 100 divisions on a circular scale, calculate
- Pitch of screw
- Least count of screw
- Observed diameter
- Corrected diameter.
