The main scale of a vernier calliper reads in mm and its vernier scale is divided into 8 divisions, which coincides with 7 divisions of the main scale. It was also observed that, when the two jaws are brought in contact, the zero of the vernier scale coincided with the zero of the main scale. The edge length of a cube is measured using this vernier calliper. The main scale reads 12 mm and the 2nd division of the vernier scale coincides with the main scale. The edge length of the cube is x mm. Find the value of 4x.

To measure the diameter of a wire, a screw gauge is used. In a complete rotation, spindle of the screw gauge advances by 12 mm and its circular scale has 50 deviations. The main scale is graduated to 12 mm. If the wire is put between the jaws, 4 main scale divisions are clearly visible and 10 deviations of circular scale co-inside with the reference line. The resistance of the wire is measured to be (10 Ω±1%). Length of the wire is measured to be 10 cm using a scale of least count 1 mm. Maximum permissible error in resistivity measurement is:

In a vernier calipers the main scale and the vernier scale are made up different materials. When the room temperature increases by ΔT°C, it is found the reading of the instrument remains the same. Earlier it was observed that the front edge of the wooden rod placed for measurement crossed the Nth main scale division and N+2 MSD  coincided with the 2nd VSD. Initially, 10 VSD  coincided with 9 MSD. If coefficient of linear expansion of the main scale is α1 and that of the vernier scale is α2 then what is the value of α1α2 ? (Ignore the expansion of the rod on heating)
