The least count of the main scale of a vernier callipers is . Its vernier scale is divided into 10 divisions and coincide with 9 divisions of the main scale. When jaws are touching each other, the division of vernier scale coincides with a division of main scale and the zero of vernier scale is lying right side of the zero of main scale. When this vernier is used to measure length of a cylinder the zero of the vernier scale between and and VSD coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is: (VSD is vernier scale division)
