JEE Main 2022 (27 Jul Shift 1)
Question
The one division of main scale of vernier callipers reads and divisions of Vernier scale is equal to the divisions on main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other the zero of the Vernier lies to the right of zero of the main scale and its fourth division coincides with a main scale division. When a spherical bob is tightly placed between the two jaws, the zero of the Vernier scale lies in between and and Vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob will be _____ .
