VERNIER SCALES:

1 A forward reading vernier scale gives the following details 1 msd =

40 cm. 1 vsd = 25 cm RF = 1 : 100. The scale is to be able to read
upto 10 metres. Constructand mark on the scale a distance of 7.85 m
and 8.15 m.(R09civil june2010set1)
2 The total length of a forward reading vernier scale is 10 cm. This is
divided into25 equal parts and each part represents 20 cm. Construct
the scale to have 1 vsd =19 cm and mark on it a distance of 3.57
meters. What is the RF of the scale?.(R09civil june2010set2)

3 In a vernier scale the difference between 1 vsd and 1 msd was

found to be 1 cm.RF = 1 : 100. The scale is able to measure a
distance of 9 metres. Construct thescale and measure a distance of
3.09 m. (R09civil june2010set3)

4 The LC of a forward reading vernier is 1 cm. It is to be long enough

to measure 12 metres. Construct the scale if 1 cm on this scale reads
0.6 metres and mark 647 metres and 601 metres on it.(R09civil

5 Construct a forward reading Vernier scale to read distance correct

to a decameter on a map in which the actual distances are reduced in
the ratio of 1 : 40000. The scale should be long enough to measure
upto 6 km. Mark on the scale lengths of 3.34 km and 0.59 km.
(R09mech june2010set1)

6 Draw a Vernier scale of 1:72 to read inches and long enough to

measure 12yards. Show the following distances on it:
(i) 1 yard 1 foot and 1 inch,
(ii) 7 yards 2 feet and 9 inches, and
(iii) 10 yards 10 inches.

7 Draw a Vernier scale of RF =1/5 to read decimeters, centimeters

and millimeters, and to measure up to 6 decimeters. Show the
lengths of 5.73 dm, 2.99 dm and 0.49 dm on it.

Problems for Self-Practice:- Vernier Scales :

8 Construct a Vernier scale of RF=1/500 to show decameters, metres

and decimeters, and to measure up to 4 decametres. Show the
lengths of 0.0393 km and 0.0001 km on it.

9 Draw a Vernier scale of RF = 1/24 to read yards, feet and inches,

and to measure up to 4 yards. Show on it lengths representing
(i) 2 yards 2 feet 10 inches
(ii) 1 foot 3 inches.

10 Draw a vernier of R.F. = 1:2.4 to show decimeters, centimeters

and millimeters and long enough to read up to 6 decimeters. Mark a
distance of 3.69 decimeters on the scale.

11 Draw a vernier scale of R.F. = 2 to show centimeters, 1th/10 of

centimeters and 1th / 100 of centimeter to read up to 9 cm. mark on
the scale the length of 7.02 cm and 2.29 cm.
12 An area of the land of 36 sq.km in area is represented by an area
of 144 sq.cm on a map. Find R.F. of the scale of this map. Draw a
backward vernier scale to show kilometers, hectameters and
decameters with the above R.F. indicate on the scale a distance of 9
kilometers, 5 hectameters and 6 decameters.

COMPARATIVE SCALES:
1 Calculate the RF of a scale which measures 2.5 inches to a mile.
Draw acomparative scale of kilometers to read up to 10 km. 1
mile=1.61 km.

2 Draw comparative scales of RF = 1/485000 to read up to 80 km

and 80 versts.1 verst =1.067 km.

3 Construct a plain scale to compute time in minutes and distance

covered by a train in km., when the train passes between two
stations 240 km apart in four hours. The scale should have R.F.
1/400000. Show the distance covered in 45 minutes on the scale.
(ECE june2010set3)

4 The distance between Vadodara and Surat is 130 km. A train covers
this distance in 2.5 hours. Construct a plain scale to measure time up
to a single minute. The distance covered by the train in 45 minutes.

5 The distance between Delhi and Saharanpur is 180km. The

passenger train covers this distance in 6 hours. Construct a plain
scale to measure time up to a single minute. The R.F. of the sale is
1;2,00,000. Indicate the distance covered by the train in 36 minutes.

6 A Car is running at a speed of 50 km/hour. Construct a diagonal

scale to show 1 km by 3 cm and to measure upto 6 km. Mark also on
the scale the distance covered by the car in 5 minutes 28 seconds.

SCALE OF CHORDS:

1 An isosceles triangle ABC is lying on the edge BC on the ground and

the plane of the triangle is perpendicular to the ground.
AC=BC=90mm, AB = 68 mm. If the length CB represents 900 on a
scale of chords, construct the full scale representing all angles from 0
to 900 at an interval of 100. Using this, set off an angle of 1300.
(R09mech june2010set4)

2 Construct 25° and 55° angles by using scale of chords.

(RO9CSE2010SET1)

3 Draw a Triangle having sides 8 cm, 9 cm and 10 cm long

respectively and measure it angles with the aid of scale of chords.
8). A Point P is 20 mm below HP and lies in the Third Quadrant. Its
shortest distance from XY is 40 mm. Draw its projections.

9).A Point 30 mm above XY line is the plan-view of two points P and Q.

The elevation of P is 45 mm above HP. While that of the point Q is 35
