NEET Physics Vernier Caliper MCQ Question
A Vernier Caliper shows a positive zero error of 0.05 cm. If the mean observed depth of a beaker is recorded as 6.25 cm, what is the corrected depth?
6.20 cm
6.30 cm
6.25 cm
6.35 cm
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
To correct for a positive zero error, subtract the zero error from the observed measurement. Here, the corrected depth = 6.25 cm - 0.05 cm = 6.20 cm.
