In a vernier callipers, each \(cm\) on the main scale is divided into \(20\) equal parts. If tenth vernier scale division coincides with nineth main scale division. Then the value of vernier constant will be \(\dots \; \times 10^{-2} \;mm\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(20 \; MSD =1 \; cm\)
\(1 \; MSD =\frac{1}{20} \; cm\)
\(10 \; VSD =9 \; MSD\)
\(1 \; VSD =\frac{9}{10} \; MSD\)
\(=\frac{9}{10} \times \frac{1}{20} \; cm\)
\(1 VSD =\frac{9}{200} \; cm\)
VC \(=1 MSD -1 \; VSD\)
\(=\frac{1}{20} \; cm -\frac{9}{200} \; cm\)
\(=\frac{1}{200} \times 10 \; mm\)
VC \(=5 \times 10^{-2} \; mm\)
Ans. \(5\)
