Question
The size of bacteria is 1 µ. Find the number of bacteria present in 1 m length.
Advertisements
Solution
Size of a bacteria = 1 µ
Since 1 µ = 10-6 m
∴ Number of the particle = Total length/size of one bacteria
= 1 m/10-6 m
= 106

Name the two scales of a vernier callipers and explain how it is used to measure length correct up to 0.01 cm.
Explain the terms : Pitch .
How are they determined?
A vernier callipers has its main scale graduated in mm and 10 divisions on its vernier scale are equal in length to 9 mm. When the two jaws are in contact, the zero of the vernier scale is ahead of the zero of the main scale and the 3rd division of the vernier
scale coincides with a main scale division.
Find : (i) The least count and
(ii) The zero error of the vernier callipers.
