Physics · Experiments and Error Analysis
Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier caliper. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least division on the Main Scale is 0.1 cm and the zero of the V.S. is at x = 0.1 cm when the jaws of the Vernier caliper are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is M = 5 cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction is:
