The man scale of a Vernier Callipers reads in millimeter and its vernier is divided into 10 divisions which coincides with 9 divisions of the main scale. The length of the object for situation is found to be (x/10) mm. Find the value of x.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
69
Least count `= (1"mm")/(10)=0.1` mm, Zero error `=-(10-6)xx0.1=-0.4` mm
Reading `=6 + 5 xx (0.1)-(0.4)=6.9` mm
