Want this question answered?
It is 5 mins. Formula : Smallest Division on Main Scale / Number of divisions on Vernier Scale = 1 degree / 12 = 60 mins / 12 = 5 mins.
Least count = 1 Main scale division - 1 vernier scale division Why? The story is very interesting. That has been already explianed by me while answering such a question. Please....
Least count of vernier caliper= 1 MSD - 1 VSD. Main scale usually would have 1 mm as the minimum division. Such 9 divisions, ie 9 mm would be divided into ten equal parts in the vernier. So VSD = 0.9 mm Hence the least count = 1 - 0.9 = 0.1 mm If the same is to be given in centimetre, then it will be 0.01 cm.
In case for micrometer, principle of pitch is used. Least count could be even micro meter But in vernier caliper, difference of main scale division and vernier scale division is the principle Least count could be 0.02 mm

universal bevel protactor is an angle measuring instrument which measures acute angle ,obtuse angle as well as it is used to layout an angle. its least count is 5 minute.
The least value which can be measured from any measuring instrument or device is called its least count. Generally the least count of a vernier caliper is 0.02mm.You can get a least count of 0.01mm in Digital vernier caliper.
Least Count [L.C]:-Least count is minimuim acuurate value meauserd by instrument.Least Count of Vernier Callipers:-The minimum value measured is 0.1mm but nowa days [l.c] is of 0.5mm.'

micro meter least count in British system
0.01mm
0.02
i think 0.01
LC FOR VERNIER CALIPER-0.1mm LC FOR MICROMETER -0.01 mm L.C- NO OF SMALLEST DIVISION ON MAIN SCALE ------------------------------------------------------- TOTAL NO OF DIVISION ON VERNIER SCALE
*Micrometer have a rotary handle and whereas vernier have a slider. *Micrometer is for measuring diameters while vernier is for measuring inside & outside diameter as well as depth. *Least Count of Vernier Caliper is 0.02mm *Least Count of Micrometer is 0.01mm
