Question

The main scale of a vernier caliper read in mm and its vernier is divided into 10 divisions which coincide with 9 divisions of the main scale . the reading for the situation is found to be x/10 mm find the value of x in 1) 8th div of V.S. coincide with M.S.D. & 2)6th div. Of V.S. coincide with M.S.D.

The side of a cube is measured by a vernier caliper (10 divisions of a vernier scale coincide with 9 divisions of main scale, where 1 division of main scale is 1 mm). The main scale reads 10 mm and first division of vernier scale coincides with the main scale. Mass of the cube is 2.736g. Find the density of the cube in appropriate significant figures.

Q. A vernier caliper has no zero error, one main scale division =

1 mm

9

main scale division =

10

vernier scale divisions. A spring is held between jaws without exerting force on jaws. Main scale reading is

3.4 cm

, and 5th vernier scale division coincides with a main scale division. When jaws are pressed by force of

10 N

on both sides, main scale reading remains

3.4 cm

, but 1st division of vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. Now spring is removed, cut into two pieces and when inserted between jaws without any force, main scale reading =

1.1 cm

and 5th vernier scale division coincides with a main scale. If we apply force of

30 N

on both the jaws, main scale reading gets

1.0 cm

x

vernier scale division coincides with a main scale division. Find
