Screw Gauge – Viva Voice Questions with

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.
