How much we know about the Vernier calipers?
Measurement is a fundamental part of all scientific experiments, including Physics. At one extreme, our vast universe extends this measuring exercise to light-years, the distances so vast that we cannot see them from our eyes. On the other extreme of the smallest distances, new discoveries are pushing it down to femto-meter (10-15 m) or even less. These distances are so small that we cannot see them from our eyes. At every 1 - 2 order of magnitude change in distance, our instruments to measure the distances accurately can differ. When the distances, we want to measure, are in the range of 10-2 mm to 1 mm, we use Vernier Calipers and Screw Gauge for precise measurement. In this article, we are going to focus on these measuring instruments only.

In class 11th Physics lab, we were trained to answer the following questions:

How to find the Least Count (LC) or Vernier Constant?
How to read Main Scale Reading (MSR) and Vernier Scale Reading (VSR)?
How to find the zero error?
How to use the above data to get the final measurement?
Answers to these how to questions kept us content for 22 years. But this was not adequate to solve the IIT JEE 2016 problem. We needed to figure out some more interesting why questions like:

Why least count is given by
LC = Value of 1 main scale division
------------------------------------
Total number of divisions on Vernier scale
Why the measured value is given by
Observed Value = MSR + LC × VSR
Why the zero error is subtracted from the observed value i.e.,
True Value = Observed Value - Zero Error
Let us start our journey with a Vernier calipers without zero error. When two jaws are closed, 0th mark on the Vernier scale is aligned with the 0th mark on the main scale as shown in the figure 1. Also note that 10th mark on Vernier scale coincides with the 9th mark on main scale.

One main scale division (MSD) is the distance between two successive marks on the main scale. It is given in the figure 1 that 1 MSD is equal to 1mm. One Vernier scale division (VSD) is the distance between two successive marks on the Vernier scale. It is given that 10VSD = 9MSD. Thus, 1VSD = (9∕10)MSD = (9∕10)1mm = 0.9mm i.e., distance between two successive marks on the Vernier scale is 0.9mm.

Answer:0.2mm

Explanation:

The length of one VSD=8/10=0.8mm

The least count of the instrument is the difference between the length of one MSD and length of one VSD

The length of inebriated MSD=1mm

Therefore,

The least count=1-0.8=0.2mm

luggage handler pulls a 20.0 kg suitcase up a ramp inclined at 34.0 ∘ above the horizontal by a force F⃗ of magnitude 165 N that
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a)  W = 643.5 J, b) W = -427.4 J  

Explanation:

a) Work is defined by

       W = F. x = F x cos θ

in this case they ask us for the work done by the external force F = 165 N parallel to the ramp, therefore the angle between this force and the displacement is zero

       W = F x

let's calculate

       W = 165  3.9

        W = 643.5 J

b) the work of the gravitational force, which is the weight of the body, in ramp problems the coordinate system is one axis parallel to the plane and the other perpendicular, let's use trigonometry to decompose the weight in these two axes

       sin θ = Wₓ / W

       cos θ = Wy / W

        Wₓ = W sinθ = mg sin θ

        Wy = W cos θ

the work carried out by each of these components is even Wₓ, it has to be antiparallel to the displacement, so the angle is zero

      W = Wₓ x cos 180

      W = - mg sin 34  x

     

let's calculate

       W = -20 9.8 sin 34 3.9

        W = -427.4 J

The work done by the component perpendicular to the plane is ero because the angle between the displacement and the weight component is 90º, so the cosine is zero.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a motorcycle of mass 60kg travelling at a velocity of 40km/h​
ELEN [110]

Answer:

1848.15J

Explanation:

KE =1/2 mv^2

Mass = 60kg, velocity =40km/h =11.11m/s

Hence

KE =30 x(11.1)^2 /2 = 1848.15J

At t1, Car A and car B are each located at position xo moving forward at speed v. At t2, car A is located at position 2xo moving
wel

Answer:

the average velocity of car A between t1 and t2greater is greater than the average velocity of B berween t1 and t2

Explanation:

Velocity is displacement over time,

Displacement is the distance covered relative to the initial starting position

For A:

at time ti, A moved from Xo to 2Xo, displacement is 2Xo.

at time t2 a moves with speed 3V, hence, his new position will be 3Xo from 2Xo which will be at 5Xo. A's displacement is 5Xo from starting point.

For B:

at time ti, B moved from Xo to 2Xo, displacement is 2Xo.

at time t2 a moves with speed V in the opposite position so he'll be back to his starting point, hence, his new position will be at Xo. A's displacement is 0 from his starting point.

A cannon is mounted on a tower above a wide, level field. The barrel of the cannon is 20 m above the ground below. A cannonball
OLga [1]

<u>Answer:</u>

  Cannonball will be in flight before it hits the ground for 2.02 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Initial height from ground = 20 meter.

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this the velocity of body in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

  Substituting

         20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

  So it will take 2.02 seconds to reach ground.

11–8 Consider a heavy car submerged in water in a lake with a flat bottom. The driver’s side door of the car is 1.1 m high and 0
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

position of centre of mass of door from surface of water

= 10 + 1.1 / 2

= 10.55 m

Pressure on centre of mass

atmospheric pressure + pressure due to water column

10 ⁵ + hdg

= 10⁵ + 10.55 x 1000 x 9.8

= 2.0339 x 10⁵ Pa

the net force acting on the door (normal to its surface)

= pressure at the centre x area of the door

= .9 x 1.1 x 2.0339 x 10⁵

= 2.01356 x 10⁵ N

pressure centre will be at 10.55 m below the surface.

When the car is filled with air or  it is filled with water , in both the cases pressure centre will lie at the centre of the car .
