The main scale reading while measuring the thickness of a rubber ball using Vernier Caliper is 7 cm and the Vernier scale coincidencs is 6 . Find the radius of the ball .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given : The main scale reading = 7 cm
Vernier scale coincidence = 6
We know that least count of vernier = 0.01 cm
The radius of the ball = MSR + VC `xx` LC
= 7 cm + 6 `xx` 0.01 cm
= 7 cm + 0.06 cm = 7 . 06 cm

The diameter of the steel ball is measured using a vernier caliper which has divisions of 0.1 cm on its main scale nad 10 division of its vernier scale match 9 division on the main scale.

A silver ball of radius 4.8 cm is suspended by a thread in a vacuum chamber, Ultraviolet light of wavelength 200nm is incident on the ball for some time during which a total light energy of 1.0 xx 10^-7 J falls on the surface.
