If thelenght of a body is to be measured accurately upto 0.05 mm using a venier calliper with main scale divisions equal to 0.5 mm, how many divisions should be engraved on the vernier scale?

Verified by Experts

(i) Given, L.C. of vernier calipers = 0.05 mm.
1 M.S.D. of the V.C.= 0.5 mm
Then, the formula for least count,
L.C. = `(1 M.S.D.)/(N)`
This means, N = `(1 M.S.D.)/(L.C.)`
From the above formula, find the number of V.S.D., (N)
(ii) N= 10

The diameter of a spherical bob is measured using a vernier callipers . 9 divisions of the main scale ,in the vernier callipers ,are equal to 10 divisions of vernier scale .One main scale division is 1 mm . The main scale reading is 10mm and 8th division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division .If the given vernier callipers has positive zero error of 0.04 cm , then the radius of the bob is __________ xx10^(-2) cm.

The main scale of a vernier calliper reads in mm and its vernier scale is divided into 8 divisions, which coincides with 7 divisions of the main scale. It was also observed that, when the two jaws are brought in contact, the zero of the vernier scale coincided with the zero of the main scale. The edge length of a cube is measured using this vernier calliper. The main scale reads 12 mm and 2^("nd") division of the vernier scale coincides with the main scale. The edge length (in mm) of the cube is

The main scale of vernier callipers is divided into 0.5mm and its least count is 0.005 cm . Then the number of divisions on vernier scale is

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.

In a vernier callipers 15 vernier scale divisions correspond to 14 main scale divisions and one main scale division is equal to 1.5 mm. An object is held scale division is equal to 1.5 mm. An object is held between the external jaw of the given vernier caliipers. If the zeroth division of the vernier scale is to the left of the 20^(th) divison of the main scale, find teh measurement of the object, if teh 14th division of the vernier scale coincides with the main scale division.
