In the measurement of the length of a cylinder, the main scale reading of a vernier caliper is 2.8 cm, the vernier reading is 4, and the least count of the vernier is 0.01 cm. Find the reading of the length of the cylinder.

the reading of the length of the cylinder is 2.84 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

the main scale reading = 2.8 cm

the Vernier reading = 4

the least count of the Vernier = 0.01 cm

the reading of the length of the cylinder = ?

To determine the reading of the length of the cylinder, we simply say;

Reading length = main scale reading + ( Vernier reading × least count )

so we substitute in our given values

Reading length =  2.8 cm + ( 4 × 0.01 cm )

Reading length =  2.8 cm + 0.04 cm

Reading length =  2.84 cm

Therefore,  the reading of the length of the cylinder is 2.84 cm
