The least count of the vernier calipers shown in the figure is ________.

What is least count of the given vernier caliper? There is one vernier caliper in which 1 main scale division (MSD) is 1mm. It is given that 10 divisions of vernier scale match with 9 divisions of main scale. Given vernier caliper is used to measure the edge of a cube. Main scale reading (MSR) was found to be 10 and first division of the vernier scale was found to be coinciding with some division of the main scale. Mass of the cube is 2.736g.

The least count of vernier callipers is 0.1 mm . The main scale reading before the zero of the vernier scale is 10 and the zeroth division of the vernier scale coincides with the main scale division. Given that each main scale division is 1mm . The measured value should be expressed as

A vernier calipers has positive zero error of 0.05 mm. While finding the diameter a cyclinder, the MSR is 9 mm ad the VCD is 9. If the least count of the vernier calipers is 0.1 mm, the area of cross- section of the cylinder is ________ mm^(2)

There are two Vernier calipers both of which have 1cm divided into 10 equal divisions on the main scale. The vernier scale of the calipers ( c_(1)) has 10 equal divisions that correspond to 9 main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other calipers ( C_(2)) has 10 equal divisions that correspond to 11 main scale divisions. the reading of the two calipers are shown in the figure. the measured values (in cm) by calipers C_(1) and C_(2) respectively, are

Least count of a vernier caliper is (1)/(10N) cm.The value of one division on the main scale is 1mm" .Then the number of divisions of the main scale that coincide with N divisions of vernier scale is (A) 10N (B) "(N)/(10) (C) (N-1) (D) N-10
