The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.01 cm and its zero error is + 0.02 cm. While measuring the length of a rod, the main scale reading is 4.8 cm and sixth division on vernier scale is in line with a marking on the main scale. Calculate the length of the rod.

Answer»

Solution :Given, L.C. = 0.01cm, zero ERROR = + 0.02 cm, main SCALE READING = 4.8 cm, and number of vernier division coinciding with the main scale division is 6, so, p = 6
Length of the ROD = observed reading - zero error = [main scale reading + (coinciding vernier division `XX` L.C.)] -` zero error.
`= [(4.8 cm ) + (6xx 0.01 cm)] + (-0.02 cm)`
`=(4.8 cm + 0.06 cm) - (+ 0.02 cm)`
`= 4.86 cm - 0.02 cm = 4.84 cm`.
