number of divisions of Vernier callipers would be 20.

given, 1 cm of main scale of a Vernier callipers is divided into 10 divisions.

so, width of each division = 1cm/10 = 0.1 cm

The least count of the callipers = 0.005 cm

we have to find the number of division of Vernier callipers.

least count = width of each division/number of divisions of Vernier callipers

⇒0.005 = 0.1/number of divisions of Vernier callipers

⇒number of divisions of vernier callipers = 0.1/0.005 = 1/0.05 = 20

Total no of vernier scale division = 20

Given:

1 cm of main scale of a vernier calipers is divided into 10 divisions.

The least count of the calipers is 0.005 cm.

To find:

The vernier scale division.

Explanation:

1  main scale division= \frac{Main \ scale \ division }{number \ of \ division } = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1 cm.

Least count = 0.005 cm. = 1 main scale division - 1 vernier scale division

     1 vernier scale division = 0.1 - 0.005

                                            = 0.095 cm.

Least count = \frac{1 \ main \ scale\ division }{total \ no. \ of \ vernier\ scale \ division }

Total no of vernier scale division = \frac{0.1}{0.005}

                                                       = 20

Total no of vernier scale division = 20
