A vernier callipers having 1 main scale ...

A vernier callipers having `1` main scale division `= 0.1 cm` to have a least count of `0.02 cm`.If `n` be the number of divisions on vernier scale and `m` be the length of vernier scale, then.

A

n = 10,m = 0.5 cm

B

n =9,m = 0.4 cm

C

n = 10,m = 0.8 cm

D

n = 10,m = 0.2 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`becauseL.C=1MSD-1VSD`
`:. 0.02=0.1-(m)/(n)rArr (m)/(n)=0.08`

The edge of a cube is measured using a vernier callipers. [ 9 divisions of the main scale is equal to 10 divisions of the vernier scale and 1 main scale dividsion is 1 mm ]. The main scale division reading is 10 and 1st division of vernier scale was found to be coinciding with the main scale. The mass of the cube is 2.736 g . Calculate the density in g//cm^3 upto correct significant figures.

In a vernier callipers, one main scale division is x cm and n divisions of the vernier scale coincide with (n-1) divisions of the main scale. The least count (in cm) of the callipers is :-

In a vernier callipers, n divisions of its main scale match with (n+1) divisions on its vernier scale. Each division of the main scale is a units. Using the vernier principle, calculate its least count.

A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism. Main scale reading : 58.5 degree Vernier scale reading : 09 divisions Given that 1 division on main scale correspods to 0.5 degree. Total divisions on the vernier scale is 30 and match with 29 divisions of the main scale. the angle of the prism from the above data:

On cm on the main scale of vernier callipers is divided into ten equal parts. If 20 division of vernier scale coincide with 8 small divisions of the main scale. What will be the least count of callipers ?

Consider a Vernier callipers in which each 1cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions in its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, 5 divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then :

Diameter of a steel ball is measured using a Vernier callipers which has divisions of 0.1 cm on its main scale (MS) and 10 divisions of its vernier scale (VS) match 9 divisions on the main scale. Three such measurement for a ball are given as : {:("S.No.","MS (cm)","VS divisions"),(1.,0.5,8),(2.,0.5,4),(3.,0.5,6):} It the zero error is -0.03 cm, then mean corrected diameter is :-
