In a vernier callipers, 50 vernier scale divisions are equal to 48 main scale divisions. If one main scale division \(=0.05 mm\), then the least count of the vernier callipers is _________ mm.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 0.002
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(LC =1 MSD -1 MSD =1 MSD -\frac{48}{50} MSD\)
\(=\frac{2}{50} MSD =\frac{2}{50} \times .05 mm=0.002 mm\)
\(=\frac{2}{50} MSD =\frac{2}{50} \times .05 mm=0.002 mm\)

- Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : With the increase in the pressure of an ideal gas, the volume falls off more rapidly in an isothermal process in comparison to the adiabatic process.
Reason (R) : In isothermal process, \(\mathrm{PV}=\) constant, while in adiabatic process \(\mathrm{PV}^\gamma=\) constant. Here \(\gamma\) is the ratio of specific heats, P is the pressure and V is the volume of the ideal gas.
