Can we measure the thickness of a piece of paper by vernier calipers?
टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

No, we cannot measure the thickness of a paper with vernier caliper as its least count is only 0.1mm. We should use a screw gauge instead as its least count is 0.01 mm as the thickness of the paper is in the range of 10-2 mm.

The wavelength of light is 589 nm. what is its wavelength in Å?


Define the least count of vernier callipers. How do you determine it?


Name the part of the vernier callipers which is used to measure the following

External diameter of a tube


When a screw gauge with a least count of 0.01 mm is used to measure the diameter of a wire, the reading on the sleeve is found to be 1 mm and the reading on the thimble is found to be 27 divisions.

(i) What is the diameter of the wire in cm?

(ii) If the zero error is +0.005 cm, what is the correct diameter?


(a) A vernier scale has 10 divisions. It slides over the main scale, whose pitch is 1.0 mm. If the number of divisions on the left hand of zero of the vernier scale on the main scale is 56 and the 8th vernier scale division coincides with the main scale, calculate the length in centimetres.
(b) If the above instrument has a negative error of 0.07 cm, calculate the corrected length.


Up to how many decimal places can a common vernier callipers measure the length in cm?


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.


When does a vernier callipers has the negative error?


Consider the following case where the zero of vernier scale and the zero of the main scale are clearly seen. If L.C. of the vernier calipers is 0.01 cm, write the zero error and zero correction of the following.


A screw gauge has 50 divisions on its circular scale and the pitch of the screw is 0.5 mm. What us its least count?
