23252.A student measured the length of a rod and wrote it as 3.50 cm. Which instrument did he use to measure it?
A vernier calliper where the 10 divisions in vernier scale matches with 9 division in main scale and main scale has 10 divisions in 1 cm
A screw gauge having 100 divisions in the circular scale and pitch as 1 mm
A screw gauge having 50 divisions in the circular scale and pitch as 1 mm
A meter scale
23253.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
5.112 cm
5.124 cm
5.136 cm
5.148 cm
23254.In the determination of Young’s modulus $\left(Y = \dfrac{4MLg}{\pi ld^2}\right)$ by using Searle’s method, a wire of length L = 2 m and diameter d = 0.5 mm is used. For a load M = 2.5 kg, an extension l = 0.25 mm in the length of the wire is observed. Quantities d and l are measured using a screw gauge and a micrometer, respectively. They have the same pitch of 0.5 mm. The number of divisions on their circular scale is 100. The contributions to the maximum probable error of the Y measurement
Due to the errors in the measurements of d and l are the same
Due to the error in the measurement of d is twice that due to the error in the measurement of l
Due to the error in the measurement of l is twice that due to the error in the measurement of d
Due to the error in the measurement of d is four times that due to the error in the measurement of l
