Answer For: Science Class 11 ( Practical Exam ) Q.1: What is a screw? Ans. Screw is a simple machine related to inclined plane. Q.2: What is meant by “gauge”? Ans. The gauge means device or instrument Q.3: Name two main parts of a screw-gauge? Ans. (a) A nut (b) A bolt or screw Q.4: What is meant by pitch of a screw? Ans. Pitch is the distance between two nearest (consecutive or successive) threads along the axis of screw. Q.5: How is the pitch found? Ans. By dividing the distance covered by the screw in a known number of rotations by the total number of relations. Q.6: What is the least count (L.C.) of the screw gauge? Ans. L.C. of screw gauge = 0.001 cm. Q.7: How the L.C. of a screw gauge is found? Ans. By using the relation: L.C. = (Pitch of the screw / No. of circular scale divisions) Q.8: What is meant by zero error of a screw- gauge? Ans. The error which arises when the zero of circular scale does not coincide with the zero of the main scale upon joining the two studs. Q.9: When the zero-error is positive? Ans. If the zero of the circular scale lies above the reference line, provided that the fixed and movable studs are in contact. Q.10: What is the degree of accuracy of the screw gauge? Ans. Degree of accuracy = L.C. or Reading power = 0.001 cm Q.11: What is mechanical advantage of a screw gauge? Ans. Like a screw jack mechanical advantage of a screw gauge is 2π r/h; where ‘r’ is the radius of cylinder of the screw and ‘h’ is the pitch. Q.12: What is meant by range of the screw gauge? Ans. The maximum length of the main scale. Q.13: What is formula for area of cross section of wire? Ans. Area of circle = 2 π r 1. Define vernier callipers. Answer. It is a measuring device mainly used for measuring linear dimensions. Vernier callipers are used for measuring the diameters of round objects. 2. What does a calliper mean. Answer. Calliper is a device used to measure the dimensions of an object. 3. What are the scales in a Vernier Calliper. Answer. Scales on a Vernier callipers are The main scale and a Vernier scale. 4. What is the least count of vernier calliper also known as? Answer. The least count of vernier calliper is also known as the vernier constant. 5. Define the vernier constant or least count. Answer. It is the difference between the value of one main scale division (MSD) and one vernier scale division (VSD). 6. What are the various sources of errors while measuring in vernier callipers? Answer. Sources of error are 1. When jaws are not at the right angle to the main scale. 2. Parallax while noting the observations. 3. Dull graduations on both scales. 4. Loose fixing of the vernier scale on the main scale. 7. What is the smallest distance measured along the vernier callipers known as? Answer. It is known as the least count. 8. Who invented the vernier scale? Answer. The Vernier scale was invented by Pierre Vernier, the French mathematician. 9. What is the formula to find the difference between one Main Scale Division (MSD) and one Vernier Scale Division (VSD)? Answer. It is given by the formula: n(VSD) = (n – 1)MSD. If 1 MSD = 1 mm and 1 VSD = 0.9 mm. What is the value of least count? Answer. Least count = (MSD – VSD) = 1 – 0.9mm = 0.1mm 10. List the two sectors which use vernier callipers? Answer. The vernier callipers are used in the aerospace field and the steel manufacturing sector. 1. What is a pendulum? Answer. A pendulum is a freely hanging weight suspended from a pivot. 2. Define the pendulum effect. Answer. It is the movement of the object in a direction where the object in another direction feels an equal movement. 3. A simple pendulum demonstrates which type of motion? Answer. A simple pendulum demonstrates periodic motion. 4. What is the formula to find the time period of a pendulum? Answer. The time period of a pendulum is given by the formula: What is a rigid body? A body is said to be a rigid body when it doesn’t undergo any change in its length, volume or shape on the application of force. 2) What is a deforming force? A balanced force that produces deformation in a body is known as the deforming force. 3) Define stress. The restoring force exerted per unit area by the molecules of the deformed body is known as stress. 4) Give the unit of stress. The unit of stress is newton per meter squared Nm−2 . 5) Define the yield point. The yield point is a stage beyond the elastic limit, up to which there is no more extension, but the thinning of wire remains uniform.
