There are 100 divisions on the circular scale of a screw gauge of pitch $$1 \mathrm{~mm}$$. With no measuring quantity in between the jaws, the zero of the circular scale lies 5 divisions below the reference line. The diameter of a wire is then measured using this screw gauge. It is found that 4 linear scale divisions are clearly visible while 60 divisions on circular scale coincide with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is :
A capacitor has air as dielectric medium and two conducting plates of area $$12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$$ and they are $$0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$$ apart. When a slab of dielectric having area $$12 \mathrm{~cm}^2$$ and $$0.6 \mathrm{~cm}$$ thickness is inserted between the plates, one of the conducting plates has to be moved by $$0.2 \mathrm{~cm}$$ to keep the capacitance same as in previous case. The dielectric constant of the slab is : (Given $$\epsilon_0=8.834 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~F} / \mathrm{m}$$)
Least count of a vernier caliper is $$\frac{1}{20 \mathrm{~N}} \mathrm{~cm}$$. The value of one division on the main scale is $$1 \mathrm{~mm}$$. Then the number of divisions of main scale that coincide with $$\mathrm{N}$$ divisions of vernier scale is :
A cube of ice floats partly in water and partly in kerosene oil. The ratio of volume of ice immersed in water to that in kerosene oil (specific gravity of Kerosene oil = 0.8, specific gravity of ice = 0.9):
