In a vernier callipers, divisions of vernier scale coincide with divisions of main scale. If represents , the vernier constant (in ) is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
V.C = MSD $-$ VSD ..... (1)
given : $(N+1) \mathrm{VSD}=N$ MSD
$$\mathrm{VSD}=\left(\frac{N}{N+1}\right) \mathrm{MSD}$$ ..... (2)
From (1) and (2)
$$\begin{aligned} & V . C=(M S D)-\frac{N}{N+1}(M S D) \\ & =M S D\left(1-\frac{N}{N+1}\right)=\frac{M S D}{N+1} \\ & =\frac{0.01}{N+1}=\frac{1}{100(N+1)} \end{aligned}$$
