On cm on the main scale of vernier callipers is divided into ten equal parts. If 20 division of vernier scale coincide with 8 small divisions of the main scale. What will be the least count of callipers ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
0.005 cm
L.C. = `((b-a)/(b)) M.S.D = ((20-19)/(20)) xx (1)/(10)` cm
= 0.005 cm
