1 The vernier scale of a calliper is divided into 30 6 The smallest division on main scale of a vernier
divisions which coincide with 29 main scale divisions. calliper is 1 mm and 10 vernier scale divisions coincide
Each main scale division is 0.3 mm. The least count of with 9 main scale divisions. While measuring the length
the instrument is: of a line, the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between
1. 0.03 mm 10.2 cm and 10.3 cm and the third division of vernier
