The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a vernier callipers with no zero error . It is found that the zero of the vernier scale lies between `5.10 and 5.15 cm` of the main scale . The `24 th` division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions . The diameter of the cylinder is

A

`5.12 cm`

B

`5.124 cm`

C

`5.1236 cm`

D

`5.148 cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`50VCD =2.45 cm`
`1 VSD = (245)(50) cm = 0.049cm`
Least count of vernier `= 1MSD -1VSD`
`=0.05cm - 0.049 cm = 0.001cm`
Thickness of the object = Main scale reading + vernier reading x least count
`=5.10 + (24) (0.001) = 5.124 cm` .

While measuring the diameter of a spehre the zero mark of the vernier scale lies between 2.0 and 2.1 cm and the fifth division of hte vernier main scale coincide with a main scale division. Then diameter of the sphere is

During Searle's experiment, zero of the Vernier sacle lies between 3.20 xx 10^(-2), and 3.25 xx 10^(-2)m of the main scale. The 20^(th) division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. When an additional load of 2kg is applied to the wire, the zero of the vernier scale still lies between 3.20 xx 10^(-2), and 3.25 xx 10^(-2)m of the main scale but now the 45^(th) division of Vernier scale coincide with one of the main scale divisions. the length of the thin metallic wire is 2m and its cross-sectional ares is 8 xx 10^(-7)m^(2) . the least count of the Vernier scale is 1.0 xx 10^(-5)m . the maximum percentage error in the Young's modulus of the wire is
