+0.06 mm
-0.06 mm
While measuring the length of a piece of a chalk by Vernier calipers. The main scale reading is found to be between 5.2cm and the 5th division of a vernier scale is found to coincide with a division on the main scale. Find the length of the chalk if the least count of the vernier is 0.01cm and zero error is 0.02cm.
5.71cm
5.27cm
5.23cm
5.25cm
S.I unit of length is
metre
centimetre
millimetre
decimetre
If the zeroth division of the vernier is on the left of the zeroth division of the main scale, then the zero error and zero correction are as follows.
Error positive and correction
Error negative and correction positive
Both error and correction are positive
Both error and correction are negative

In an experiment the angles are required to be measured using an instrument.29 divisions of the main scale exactly coincide with the 30 divisions of the vernier scale.If the smallest division of the main scale is half - a - degree (=0.5°), then the least count of the instrument is
one minute
half minute
one degree
half degree
A mechanical device which combines a main scale and vernier scale is called
