Answer 2

Answer:

The least count of vernier calipers is 0.01 g.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

The digit that would have to be estimated in reading this instrument,

According to figure,

We need to calculate the pitch

Using formula of pitch

$pitch=\dfrac{distance\ moved}{Number\ of\ complete\ rotation}$

Put the value into the formula

$pitch=\dfrac{1}{10}$

$pitch=0.1\ g$

We need to calculate the least count of vernier calipers

Using formula of least count

$Least\ count=\dfrac{pitch}{number\ of\ vernier\ scale\ division}$

Put the value into the formula

$Least\ count=\dfrac{0.1}{10}$

$Least count = 0.01\ g$

Hence, The least count of vernier calipers is 0.01 g.

(B) is correct option.
