In an experiment with vernier callipers of least count0.1 mm, when two jaws are joined together the zero of vernier scale lies right to the zero of the main scale and6thdivision of vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob, the zero of vernier scale lies in between3.2 cmand3.3 cmmarks and4thdivision of vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. The diameter of bob is measured as

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

The least count is LC=0.1 mm

Zero error (ZE)=6×LC=6×0.1 mm=0.6 mm

The total reading is TR=MSR+VSR×LC-ZETR=32 mm+(0.1×4) mm-0.6 mmTR=31.8 mm=3.18 cm
