It is not known for certain but vernier callipers were found in a Greek wreck where the ship was dated to the 6th Century BC.

What is the zero reading of a vernier caliper?

The zero reading of a vernier caliper is when the jaws are closed and the main scale '0' mark aligns perfectly with the zero mark on the vernier scale. This is the reference point for taking measurements with the vernier caliper.


What does the smallest division on the main scale of the vernier caliper correspond to?

The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier caliper typically corresponds to 1 millimeter. The vernier scale allows for more precise measurements by measuring to the nearest 0.1 millimeter.


Can you use the tail of the vernier caliper to measure the depth of the test tube?

No, the tail of a vernier caliper is used to measure inside dimensions like holes or pipes, not depth. To measure the depth of the test tube, you would need to use the main scale and the vernier scale on the caliper's jaws.


What instrument can be used to measure internal diameter of beaker?

A vernier caliper or a micrometer can be used to measure the internal diameter of a beaker. These tools provide accurate measurements of dimensions, including internal diameters, with precision.


If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading?

If a vernier caliper has zero reading of 0.025 cm and the caliper reads 5.565 cm what should be the correct reading? 5.565 - 0.025 = 5.54 so caliper reads 5.54 cm If the zero reading on the vernier calipers is -0.025 cm with the reading still 5.565cm, it is 5.565 - (-0.025) = 5.565 + 0.025 = 5.59 cm

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
