उत्तर

Vernier caliper is an instrument used for measuring small lengths of solid objects where an ordinary scale cannot be applied. We can measure the length accurately up to the order of 10-2 cm, 10-3 cm depending upon the vernier used. Therefore a vernier caliper is important to measure the fraction of the smallest division of a measuring scale which otherwise could not be done by the judgment of the eye.

Which of the following measures a small length to high accuracy : metre rule , vernier callipers or screw gauge?


While measuring the length of a rod with a vernier callipers, below shows the position of its scales. What is the length of the rod? 


Fig., below shows the reading obtained while measuring the diameter of a wire with a screw gauge. The screw advances by 1 division on the main scale when circular head is rotated once.  

Find:
(i) Pitch of the screw gauge,
(ii) Least count of the screw gauge and
(iii) The diameter of the wire.


The least count of a vernier callipers is 0.01 cm and it has an error of + 0.07 cm. While measuring the radius of a sphere, the main scale reading is 2.90 cm and the 5th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale. Calculate the correct radius.


State the formula for calculating length if:

Number of vernier scale division coinciding with the main scale and number of division of main scale on the left-hand side of zero of vernier scale is known.


The level of water in a measuring cylinder is 12.5 ml. When a stone is lowered in it, the volume is 21.0 ml. Find the volume of the stone.


A measuring cylinder is filled with water up to a level of 30 ml. A solid body is immersed in it so that the level of water rises to 37 ml. Now the solid body is tied with a cork and then immersed in water so that the water level rises to 40 ml. Find the volume of the solid body and the cork.


In the following figure, the pitch of the screw is 1 mm. Calculate:
(i) the least count of screw gauge and
(ii) the reading represented in the figure.


What is the least count in the case of the following instrument?

Stopwatch
