Define least count of a measuring instrument?

Least count is referred to as the smallest unit that can be measured by a measuring instrument. It is found by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the total number of divisions on Vernier calipers.

How do you calculate least count of spectrometer?

The value of each main scale divisions is half a degree(30') . The number of vernier scale divisions is 30. 29 main scale divisions are divided into 30 vernier scale divisions (30 VSD = 29 MSD ) Therefore value of 1 VSD = 29/30 MSD. Least Count (L.C.) = 1MSD - 1VSD = 1MSD - 29/30 MSD = 1/30 MSD = 1/30 x 30' (L.C.) = 1' (1 minute)


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 the 'zero error' in vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge?

The zero error in the vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge when the O mark on the main scale is not in line with the pointer.


How does the zero error occur in the vernier calipers?

It occurs when the '0' marking of the main scale is not in line with the '0' marking of the vernier scale when the jaws are fully closed.

What is the least count of bevel proctector?

It is 5 mins. Formula : Smallest Division on Main Scale / Number of divisions on Vernier Scale = 1 degree / 12 = 60 mins / 12 = 5 mins.
