Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier callipers. Suppose its Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least division in the M.S. is and the zero of V.S. is at when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed.
If the main scale reading for the diameter is and the number of coinciding vernier division is , the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
When jaws are closed, the zero of V.S. is at (to the right of M.S. zero).
