Question
Find the volume of a book of length 25 cm, breadth 18 cm and height 2 cm in m3.

Solution
Length of book = l = 25 cm
Breadth of book = b = 18 cm
Height of book = h = 2 cm
Volume of book = l × b × h
V = 25 × 18 × 2
V = 900 cm3
V = `900/10^6"m"^3`
V = `9/10000"m"^3`
V = 0.0009 m3

(a) A vernier scale has 20 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 0.5 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of the zero of vernier on the main scale is 38 and the 18th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the diameter of the sphere, held in the jaws of vernier callipers.
(b) If the vernier has a negative error of 0.04 cm, calculate the corrected radius of the sphere.
