WHY do vernier calliper works?
This is not exactly a problem but i think this is the most appropriate place to post this.
I know how to read a vernier calliper. But i want to know WHY it works. I mean how it gives us the true length.
I have been thinking on it for a long time and I'm not able to conclude why we see coinciding lines.
Also if the 0's on vernier and main scale are marked exactly at the edges wouldn't it be easier to use?
please explain...please don't write just a line or two...i'm going mad
