The least count of the caliper is This question was previously asked in Official Paper (Shift 1) View all HPCL Engineer Papers > 1. 0.2mm 2. 0.02mm 3. 0.1mm 4. 0.01 mm ‘Answer (Detailed Solution Below) Option 3: 0.1 mmCrack AE & JE - Civil with FREED) demo classes Avaliablet ee tera ag Detailed Solution Explanation: The Vernier principle states that two different scales are constructed on a single known length of line and the difference between them is taken for fine measurements, Determining the least count of Vernier callipers: In the Vernier calliper shown in Fig the main scale divisions (9 mm) are divided into 10 equal parts in the Vernier scale. ie. Main Scale Division Vernier Scale Division Main Scale |4 Main Scale 0.2. oc 0.9: Vernier Scale Least count = 1 MSD-1 VSD Calculation: Given: 10 Main Scale Division (MSD) = 10 mm, 1MSD = 10 Vernier Scale Division (VSD) = 9 mm, 1VSD = 0.9 mm. Least count = 1 MSD- 1 VSD =1mm-0.9mmThe difference between one MSD and one VSD = 0.1 mm Alternate Method Onemainscaledivision(MSD)= 1mm One vernier scale division (VSD) = 9/10 mm Least count = 1 MSD- 1 VSD = 1 mm-9/10 mm =0.1mm ‘The difference between one MSD and one VSD = 0.1
