Question:

In a slide callipers, $(m + 1)$ number of vernier divisions is equal to m number of smallest main scale divisions. If d unit is the magnitude of the smallest main scale division, then the magnitude of the vernier constant is

  • $\frac{d}{\left(m+1\right)}$ uint
  • $\frac{d}{m}$ uint
  • $\frac{md}{\left(m+1\right)}$ uint
  • $\frac{\left(m+1\right)d}{m}$ uint

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$(m+1)$ vernier division $=m$ main scale division One division on vernier scale $=\left(\frac{m}{m+1}\right)$ division on main scale Vernier constant $=\left(1-\frac{m}{m+1}\right) d=\frac{d}{m+1}$

Physical World

The physical world includes the complications of the natural world around us. It is a type of analysis of the physical world around us to understand how it works. The fundamental forces that control nature are:

  • Gravitational Force is a universal force that exists as an outcome of mutual attraction between any two objects with respect to their masses.
  • Electromagnetic Force can be understood as the force that is present between the charged particles. The force is stated by Coulomb’s law.
  • Strong Nuclear Force is the force that ties the protons and neutrons in a nucleus. Of all the elemental forces in nature, a strong nuclear force is the strongest as its name suggests.
  • Weak Nuclear Force can only be noticed in some of the nuclear processes such as the beta decay of the nucleus.
