QUESTION 1. The least count of a vernier calliper is 0.01 centimetres.

If the 3 rd
division of the vernier coincides with 3rd division of a main scale, then find the
correction to be made.

QUESTION 2. A vernier callipers has 20 divisions on the vernier scale. 1 cm on main

scale is divided into 20 equal parts. Find the least count of the vernier.

QUESTION 3. While measuring the length of a chalk piece by vernier callipers the
main scale reading is 4.6 cm and the 6th division on vernier scale is found to coincide
with a division on the main scale. Find the length of the chalk, if L.C of vernier is 0.01
cm and zero error is —0.02 cm.

QUESTION 4. Choose the correct option from the following.

1) If the zeroth division of the vernier and main scales of a
standard vernier callipers coincide, then measured length is
equal to the actual length.
2) The least count of vernier scale is 0.9 mm.
3) The length of a one vernier scale division is greater than that
of one main scale division.
4) The internal jaws are used for measuring the internal diameter
of a hollow cylinder.

QUESTION 5. divisions on the main scale of vernier callipers coincide with (N + 1)

divisions on the vernier scale. If each divisions on the main scale of a units, determine
the least count of instrument.
(A) (N + I) Main scale division
(B) (N + 1)-1 Main scale divisions
(C) N Main scale division
(D) (1 — N) Main scale division

QUESTION 6. In a vernier callipers, 20 divisions on the vernier scale coincides with

17 divisions on the main scale. If one cm on the main scale is divided into 20 equal
parts, then find the least count of the callipers.

QUESTION 7. A student mistaken the least count of a vernier callipers as 0.01 mm

instead of 0.01 cm and found that the length of a copper rod was 6.506 cm. If one
MSD = I mm, then find
a. the main scale reading.
b. the vernier coinciding division.
 c. the correct length of the rod.

QUESTION 8. Each division on the main scale is mm. Out of the following which of
the vernier scales will give vernier constant equal to 0.1 mm?
1. 90 mm divided into 100 divisions.
2. 90 mm divided into divisions.
3. 90 mm divided into 1000 divisions.
4. None of these

QUESTION 9. The side of a cube is measured by vernier callipers (10 divisions of a

vernier scale coincide with 9 divisions of main scale, where I division of main scale is 1
mm). The main scale reads 10 mm and first division of vernier scale coincides with the
main scale. The side of the cube is.

QUESTION 10. The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a Vernier callipers with
no zero error. It is found that the zero of the Vernier scale lies between 5.10 cm and
5.15 cm of the main scale. The Vernier scale has 50 divisions equivalent to 2.45 cm.
The 24th division of the Vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale
divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is.
(A). 5.112 cm
(B). 5.124 cm
(C). 5.136 cm
(D). 5.148 cm
