Q40 / 110 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Units and Dimensions

The internal and external diameters of a hollow cylinder are measured with the help of vernier callipers. Their values are 4.23±0.01cm and 3.87±0.01cm respectively. The thickness of the wall of the cylinder is

  • A
    0.36  ± 0.02 cm
  • B
    0.18  ± 0.02cm
  • C
    0.36 ± 0.01cm
  • Correct answer
    D
    0.18 ± 0.01cm 

Solution

t=D1−D22=4.23−3.872=0.18 cm

Δt=ΔD1+ΔD22

= 0.01+0.01 2 =0.01 cm

⇒t=(0.18±0.01) cm

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
