Vernier scale consists of main scale and vernier scale. The first line or the zeroth line coinciding with the main scale reading is the main scale reading. The vernier line except zeroth line coinciding with any line on main scale is the main scale reading.

How vernier caliper is used to measure?
Well it uses two graduated scales, a main scale similar to that on a ruler, and a specially graduated scale, the vernier, that slides parallel to the main scale and enables readings to be made to a fraction of the main scale.The main scale measure to one decimal place and the mark on the main scale that face opposite the supporting scale is taken to the second decimal ..
What is the unit of vernier scale reading of vernier caliper?
No unit for vernier scale coincidence. But as we multiply it by least count which has unit then we get vernier scale reading with the same unit. Of course main scale reading and vernier scale reading would have the same unit
What do you understand by zero error of a measuring instrument?
It is a defect in a measuring device (Vernier Callipers & Screw Gauge) & zero error is caused by an incorrect position of the zero point.
Why 9 division of main scale 10 divisions of vernier sacle in a vernier calipers?
because its senstivty is 0.1 mm.......got it or not????
What is vernier constant?
The difference between one main scale division and one vernier division is called vernier constant. this is the minimum length which can be measured accurately with the help of a vernier calipers. it is also called the least count of a vernier. Value of one main scale division is "1 mm" and value of one vernier scale division is "0.9 mm".So,the value of vernier constant is "1-0.9=0.1 mm".
How do you take reading in travelling microscope by using the vernier scale reading from 0.6 to 1.0?
Their Vernier scale consists of two readings; the Vernier scale and the main scale. One can read that by the first line is the main scale and the next line is the Vernier reading.

How do you read vernier calipers?
We need two readings. One is Main scale reading and the other is vernier scale reading. Main scale reading will be read on the main scale. We need an indicator to read it. Right? The marking ie zero of the vernier is that indicator. So the reading on the main scale which has been just crossed by zero of the vernier is taken as Main scale reading. Now to get VSR, we need vernier scale coincidence. How do we get this? Any one of the divisions of the vernier will be found coincided with some divisions marked on the main scale. We don't worry about that main scale division but we concentrate only on the vernier scale division. This is VSC This VSC is to be multiplied by least count. So VSC x LC gives the VSR Now MSR + VSR gives the accurate reading.
What is main scale and vernier scale?
1)Main Scale is fixed(It does not move) Vernier scale slides along main scale.2)Least count of Mainscale is 0.1cmLeast count of vernier scale is 0.01cm
How do you calculate readings of sextant?
first find out least count of main circular scale in degrees,then divide least count of main scale by total divisions on cylindrical scale(this cylindrical scale works as vernier scale for fist one,its least count will be in minutes) then further divide least count of cylindrical scale by total divisions of small vernier scale which touches it,(this small scale works as vernier scale for cylindrical scale and its least count will be in seconds).
Where on the vernier caliper would you read to obtain the main scale reading?
To obtain the main scale reading on a vernier caliper, you would read the measurement value aligned with the zero mark on the main scale.
What is the unit of vernier scale reading of vernier caliper?
No unit for vernier scale coincidence. But as we multiply it by least count which has unit then we get vernier scale reading with the same unit. Of course main scale reading and vernier scale reading would have the same unit
A vernier calliper has 20 divisions on the vernier scale one centimeter on main scale is divided into 20equal parts Find the least count of vernier parts?
0.1 mm
Differentiate between main scale reading and vernier scale reading?
main scale is the least accurate reading on the device. the vernier scale uses an offset of divions that only allows one "line" or division to line up with the scale below. This scale is more accurate than the main scale. for example, the main scale may produce an accuracy of 0.125 of and inch plus or minus 0.125 of an inch, whereas the vernier would produce an accuracy of 0.025 of and inch. therefore if two divivions of the main scale and one division of the vernier scale were combined it would prodice and reading of (0.125+0.125+0.025 = 0.275) inches.
Define the term zero error of vernier calliper?
The zero error of vernier calliper is defined as :-The zero error is equal to the distance between the zero of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale.
What is the least count of screw gauge and vernier calipers?
