One main scale division of a Vernier calliper is equal to \(1\) mm and the number of divisions on the Vernier scale is \(10.\) When both the jaws touch each other, the Vernier scale shifts to the left of zero of the main scale in such a way that \(4^\mathrm{th}\) Vernier division coincides with a division of the main scale. If this Vernier calliper measures the length of a wire to be \(1\) cm, the actual length of the wire is:
1. \(1.06\) cm 2. \(0.60\) cm
3. \(0.96\) cm 4. \(1.00\) cm

A balloon is made of a material of surface tension \(S\) and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area \(A.\) It is filled with a gas of density \(\rho\) and takes a spherical shape of radius \(R.\) When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it, its radius \(r\) changes from \(R\) to \(0\) (zero) in time \(T.\) If the speed \(v(r)\) of gas coming out of the balloon depends on \(r\) as \(r^a\) and \(T \propto S^\alpha A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta\) then:
1. \(a=-\dfrac{1}{2},~ \alpha=-\dfrac{1}{2}, ~\beta=-1, ~\gamma=\dfrac{1}{2},~ \delta=\dfrac{7}{2}\)
2. \(a=\dfrac{1}{2},~\alpha=\dfrac{1}{2},~ \beta=-\dfrac{1}{2}, ~\gamma=\dfrac{1}{2},~ \delta=\dfrac{7}{2}\)

Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier callipers. Suppose its \(10\) Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its \(9\) Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least division in the M.S. is \(0.1\text{ cm}\) and the zero of V.S. is at \(x=0.1~ \text{cm}\) when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \({M}=5~\text{cm}\) and the number of coinciding vernier division is \(8 ,\) the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
1. \(4.98 ~\text{cm}\) 2. \(5.00 ~\text{cm}\)
3. \(5.18 ~\text{cm}\) 4. \(5.08 ~\text{cm}\)
