If there are 'N' number of vernier scale divisions (VSD) and N VSD = (N-2) MSD, find the value of L.C. in terms of 'N'.

A

`(1MSD)/(N)`

B

`(2MSD)/(N)`

C

`((N-2)MSD)/(N)`

D

`(NMSD)/(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Number of V.S.D = N.
given: N V S D = (N-2) M.S.D.
N.V.S.D. = N.M.S.D. -2 M.S.D.
N.M.S.D. -N.V.S.D. =2 M.S.D.
N (M.S.D.- 1 V.S.D.) = 2 M.S.D.
L.C. = `(2 M.S.D.)/(N)`

find the sum of n terms: a(n) = n(n+1)-2

If the number of divisons on the vernier scale ofa standard vernier calliper is N, then N is always equal to (N- 1) main scale divisions. Would the vernier calliper be rendered useless if N is equal to fewer number of main scale divisions, for example N = ( N-3) M.S.D.? Why? How would the least count calculations be modified?
