In a vernier calliper, 1 main scale division (MSD) equals 1 mm, and 9 MSDs are divided into 10 equal vernier scale divisions (VSD). When the jaws are closed with nothing between them, the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right of the zero of the main scale, and the 7th division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Find the zero error of the vernier calliper.
