Viscosity = Pascal . Second

P X A Y T Z = [ M 1 L 1 T 1 ]        

[ M 1 L + 1 T 1 ] x [ L 2 ] y [ T 1 ] z = M 1 L 1 T 1

= x = 1,     x + 2y = -1,      -x + z = 1

y = -1,              Z = 0

10 vsD = 9msD

1vsD = 0.9 MsD

L.C. = 1MSD – 1VSD = 1 – 0.9 = 0.1 mm

Zero error = 4LC = 0.4 mm

Reading = MSR + VSR + correction

= 4.1 cm + 6 * .01 cm + (-0.04 cm) = (4.1 + 0.06 – 0.04) cm

= 4.12 cm = 412 * 10-2 cm
