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
In a vernier calipers if the zero division of the vernier scale is to the right of the main scale and the vernier scale coincides with the 6th division of the main scale, what will be zero correction ?
+0.01 cm
-0.06 cm
+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.
