The correct Answer is:
To find the volume of the wire using the given data, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given data - **Pitch of the screw gauge (P)** = 1 mm - **Number of divisions on the circular scale (N)** = 100 - **Linear scale reading (L)** = 2 mm - **Circular scale reading (C)** = 64 divisions - **Length of the wire (L_wire)** = 3.5 cm ### Step 2: Calculate the least count of the screw gauge The least count (LC) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Least Count} = \frac{\text{Pitch}}{\text{Number of divisions}} = \frac{1 \text{ mm}}{100} = 0.01 \text{ mm} \] Converting this to centimeters: \[ \text{Least Count} = 0.01 \text{ mm} = 0.01 \times 0.1 \text{ cm} = 10^{-3} \text{ cm} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the diameter of the wire The diameter (D) can be calculated using the formula: \[ D = \text{Linear scale reading} + \left(\text{Circular scale reading} \times \text{Least Count}\right) \] Substituting the values: \[ D = 2 \text{ mm} + (64 \times 0.01 \text{ mm}) = 2 \text{ mm} + 0.64 \text{ mm} = 2.64 \text{ mm} \] Now converting to centimeters: \[ D = 2.64 \text{ mm} \times 0.1 \text{ cm/mm} = 0.264 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the radius of the wire The radius (r) is half of the diameter: \[ r = \frac{D}{2} = \frac{0.264 \text{ cm}}{2} = 0.132 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the volume of the wire The volume (V) of the wire can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: \[ V = \pi r^2 L \] Substituting the values: \[ V = \pi \times (0.132 \text{ cm})^2 \times 3.5 \text{ cm} \] Using \(\pi \approx 3.14\): \[ V = 3.14 \times 0.017424 \text{ cm}^2 \times 3.5 \text{ cm} \approx 0.19 \text{ cm}^3 \] ### Final Answer The volume of the wire is approximately \(0.19 \text{ cm}^3\). ---
