Lower the vernier constant, more accurate measurement is possible by it.
The value of the smallest division of the main scale of a vernier callipers is . Let divisions of the vernier scale be equivalent to smallest divisions of the main scale. The vernier constant of the instrument is
V.C. ,
where the value of the smallest division on the main scale and divisions on the vernier scale is equivalent to ( ) divisions on the main scale.
The reading of given vernier callipers is
Main scale reading
Vernier division coinciding
Vernier scale value,

If and represent the increase in length, the original length of the experimental wire, load applied to the wire and area of cross-section of the wire respectively then Young's modulus of the wire is given by
Here,
Original length
Extension
Force applied
Area of cross-section
Now, Young's modulus
For the determination of the coefficient of viscosity of a given liquid, a graph between square of the radius of the spherical steel balls and their terminal velocity is plotted. The slope of the graph is given by
The graph versus is a straight line such that its slope is given by
Astudent performs an experiment to determine the Young's modulus of a wire, exactly long, by Searle's method. In a particular reading, the student measures the extension in the length of the wire to be with an uncertainty of at a load of exactly . The student also measures the diameter of the wire to be with an uncertainty of . Take (exact). The Young's modulus obtained from the reading is
An experiment takes 10 minutes to raise the temperature of water in a container from to and another 55 minutes to convert it totally into steam by a heater supplying heat at a uniform rate. Neglecting the specific heat of the container and taking specific heat of water to be , the heat of vapourization according to this experiment will come out to be :
As
So,
and
Dividing equation (i) by (ii) we get
.
While measuring the speed of sound by performing a resonance column experiment, a student gets the first resonance condition at a column length of during winter. Repeating the same experiment during summer, she measures the column length to be for the second resonance. Then
For first resonant length
For second resonant length
(in summer)
