Question
A vernier has 10 divisions and they are equal to 9 divisions of the main scale in length. If the main scale is calibrated in mm, what is its least count?
Solution
Value of 1 m.s.d. = 1 mm
10 vernier divisions = 9 m.s.d.
L.C. = Value of 1 m.s.d./number of divisions on vernier scale
= 1 mm/10
= 0.1 mm or 0.01 cm
