### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Least Count**: The least count of a Vernier caliper is defined as the smallest measurement that can be accurately read using the instrument. It represents the precision of the caliper. 2. **Understanding the Components**: - **Main Scale Division (MSD)**: This is the smallest division on the main scale of the Vernier caliper. - **Vernier Scale Division (VSD)**: This is the smallest division on the Vernier scale. ...
