Statement-1: A man is standing on a bathroom scale. Suddenly he squats (sits down) with accleration a The scale reading will increase.
Statement-2: Man pushes down on the scale while squantting.

A

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false.

D

Statement -1 is false, statement -2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since his acceleration is downward get will reduce and scale reading will decrease.

What is the edge length of the cube? There is one vernier caliper in which 1 main scale division (MSD) is 1mm. It is given that 10 divisions of vernier scale match with 9 divisions of main scale. Given vernier caliper is used to measure the edge of a cube. Main scale reading (MSR) was found to be 10 and first division of the vernier scale was found to be coinciding with some division of the main scale. Mass of the cube is 2.736g.
