JEE Physics Practice Question
A steel wire of diameter $0.5 \mathrm{~mm}$ and Young's modulus $2 \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$ carries a load of mass $M$. The length of the wire with the load is $1.0 \mathrm{~m}$. A vernier scale with 10 divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count $1.0 \mathrm{~mm}$, is attached. The 10 divisions of the vernier scale correspond to 9 divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by $1.2 \mathrm{~kg}$, what is the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division? Take $g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}$ and $\pi=3.2$
