Physics Units, Dimensions and Measurement Significent Figures MCQ (Single Correct)

Pitch of screw gauge is 1 mm. There are 100 divisions on circular scale. While measuring diameter of wire the linear scale reads 1 mm and 45 th division of circular scale coincides with reference line of main scale. Length of wire is 5.0 cm measured by metre scale. The surface area of wire to correct significant figure is -

A
2.32 cm 2
B
23.2 cm 2
C
2.30 cm 2
D
23 cm 2

The correct answer is:
C

2r = 1+ 0.45 = 1.45 mm = 0.145 cm

CSA = 2 π r λ = 0.145 × 3.14 × 5 = 2.27

CA = 2 π r λ 2 = 2 × 3.14 × (0.0725) 2 = 0.030

SA = CSA + CA = 2.27 + 0.030 = 2.30 cm 2
