The zero error in verniel scale is =6×0.1 mm=0.6 mm (+ve zero error)Note: +ve zero error will have to be subtractedFrom the reading of the object.Now, the diameter measured with the help of Vernier scale isGiven by → M.S.D + V.S.D × L.S⇒3.2 cm+0.1 mm×4=3.24 cmThe actual diameter is ⇒3.24 mm - (zero error) =3.24−0.6=3.18 cm
