Question

# The main scale reading of a vernier calliper is obtained as 3.2 cm for an object placed in it. If the 4th division of the vernier scale coincides with a division on the main scale, and the magnitude of the positive zero error is 0.03 cm, what is the true length of the object in cm? Take L.C. = 0.01 cm.3.21

Solution

## The correct option is A 3.21Given: Main scale reading (MSR) = 3.2 cm Vernier scale reading that coincides with a division on the main scale, p=4 VSR = p×L.C. =4×0.01=0.04 cm Observed length of the object, X = MSR + VSR =3.2+0.04=3.24 cm Magnitude of positive zero error, PZE = 0.03 cm Positive zero error is subtracted from the observed length to get the true length. ⟹ True length = X - PZE = 3.24−0.03=3.21 cm.
