Answer:
-0.01 mm
Explanation:
We are given that
The value of one division of vernier scale =0.5 mm
The value of one main scale division=0.49 mm
We have to find the value of least count of the instrument in mm.
We know that
Leas count of vernier caliper=1 main scale division-1 vernier scale division
Least count of vernier caliper=0.49-0.50=-0.01 mm
Hence, the least count of the instrument=-0.01 mm
Answer: -0.01 mm
