In an experiment with Vernier callipers of least count $0.1\,mm$,when two jaws are joined together,the zero of the Vernier scale lies to the right of the zero of the main scale and the $6^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.2\,cm$ and $3.3\,cm$ marks,and the $4^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob is measured as $.......\,cm$.

The main scale of a vernier calliper has $n$ divisions per $cm$. $n$ divisions of the vernier scale coincide with $(n-1)$ divisions of the main scale. The least count of the vernier calliper is,

The diameter of a spherical bob is measured using a vernier callipers. $9$ divisions of the main scale,in the vernier callipers,are equal to $10$ divisions of vernier scale. One main scale division is $1\, {mm}$. The main scale reading is $10\, {mm}$ and $8^{\text{th}}$ division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division. If the given vernier callipers has positive zero error of $0.04\, {cm}$,then the radius of the bob is $...... \,\times 10^{-2} \,{cm}$.

The smallest division on the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1 \ mm$,and $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. While measuring the diameter of a sphere,the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between $2.0 \ cm$ and $2.1 \ cm$ of the main scale,and the fifth division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the sphere is:
