The least count of the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1\, mm$. Its vernier scale is divided into $10$ divisions and coincides with $9$ divisions of the main scale. When jaws are touching each other,the $7^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a division of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right side of the zero of the main scale. When this vernier is used to measure the length of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale is between $3.1\, cm$ and $3.2\, cm$ and the $4^{th}$ $VSD$ coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is $.....\, cm$. ($VSD$ is vernier scale division)

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 $...... \,\times 10^{-2} \,{cm}$.

$A$ spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism.
Main scale reading : $58.5^{\circ}$
Vernier scale reading : $09$ divisions
Given that $1$ division on the main scale corresponds to $0.5^{\circ}$. The total number of divisions on the Vernier scale is $30$,which matches $29$ divisions of the main scale. The angle of the prism from the above data is ....... $degree$. (in $^{\circ}$)

When both jaws of vernier callipers touch each other,the zero mark of the vernier scale is to the right of the zero mark of the main scale,and the $4^{\text{th}}$ mark on the vernier scale coincides with a certain mark on the main scale.
