Consider a Vernier callipers in which each 1 cm on the main scale is divided into 8 equal divisions and a screw gauge with 100 divisions on its circular scale. In the Vernier callipers, 5 divisions of the Vernier scale coincide with 4 divisions on the main scale and in the screw gauge, one complete rotation of the circular scale moves it by two divisions on the linear scale. Then:
- A If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm
- B If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.005 mm
- C If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm
- D If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.005 mm
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) If the least count of the linear scale of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers, the least count of the screw gauge is 0.01 mm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
1 main scale division (M.S.D)
5 Vernier scale division (V.S.D)
Least count of Vernier scale
For option A and B
If the pitch of the screw gauge is twice the least count of the Vernier callipers then pitch of Vernier scale
Hence least count of screw gauge
For option C and D
Least count of linear scale of screw gauge
Pitch
Least count of screw gauge
Hence answer is (B, C)
5 Vernier scale division (V.S.D)
Least count of Vernier scale
For option A and B

Hence least count of screw gauge
For option C and D
Least count of linear scale of screw gauge
Pitch
Least count of screw gauge
Hence answer is (B, C)
