Question

scale has 10 divisions between two consecutive centimetre marking what is the minimum distance that can be measured using this scale

Answer 1

It's common sense yaar 1 mm.

Answer 2

The minimum distance that can be measured using this scale is 1 millimetre.

• The scale has 10 divisions between two consecutive markings of centimetre and the gap between two consecutive smaller divisions is constant.

• So,the 10 divisions divide the length of 1 centimetre into 10 equal parts.

• Now,if we divide the 1 centimetre into 10 equal parts we will get that the length between two consecutive smaller divisions is 0.1 centimetre or 1 millimetre.

• And,the distance between two consecutive smaller divisions is the minimum distance that can be measured by that scale.
