To find the sensitivity of a vernier caliper, measure the least count of the caliper (typically 0.02 mm) by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the number of divisions on the vernier scale. For a micrometer, measure the least count (typically 0.01 mm) by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the number of divisions on the thimble scale. Sensitivity indicates the smallest change in measurement that can be detected by the instrument.
You would read the main scale reading on the vernier caliper from the scale that is closest to the object being measured. The vernier scale reading is obtained by noting which vernier scale division aligns with a main scale division. The combined main scale reading and vernier scale reading provide the precise measurement of the object.
To find the least count of a micrometer in the imperial system, first convert the micrometer value to inches. Then, divide 1 inch by the number of divisions on the micrometer scale. This will give you the least count of the micrometer in the imperial system.
if the zero line of vernier scale is not conciding with main scale the zero error exists.Knowing the zero error necessary correction can be made to find correct measurement..Such a correction is called zero correction
The first step is to find the zero error and hence the zero correction. Rotate the micrometer until the fixed and movable jaws contact each other - not too hard and not too soft but just right, you should geta feel for this. Rarely will a micrometer will read zero. You need to figure out the zero error. It may be positive or negative. If the zero error is positive then the zero correction is negative and vicevers. Now open the micrometer and insert the object to be measured and close the micrometer with ideally the same sense of pressure you felt when you found the zero error. Now read the micrometer. You add the zero correction to get the true value.
The jaws of the vernier calipers are used to measure the external diameter of a cylinder. The jaws are placed around the object being measured, and the reading is taken from the scale on the main body of the calipers.

They are not. You use the most suitable instrument for the task in hand. Some people find verniers more difficult to read unless there is a digital readout.

The least count of the vernier caliper is calculated by dividing the smallest division on the main scale by the total number of divisions on the vernier scale. In this case, 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 20 equal parts, so the least count is 1 cm / 20 = 0.05 cm or 0.5 mm.

by dividing diameter by 2 :)
Are you talking about the 2008 TV series Sense Sensibility?, because the movie was made in 1981.
0 - 1 inch Micrometer might be better to measure 10 pages and find the average.
On some vehicles there is a caliper mounting bracket, on others the caliper screws directly to the steering knuckle.
1000000 - one million
Disengage the parking brake before attempting to remove the caliper.
