Question #1
Action and reaction forces, as described by Newton's third law of motion:
A. Cancel each other completely, producing zero net force
B. Have different magnitudes but opposite directions
C. Act on different bodies
D. Act on the same body

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Newton's third law states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Crucially, action and reaction forces always act on two different bodies. Because they act on different bodies, they do not cancel each other out, and each body experiences a net force based on the reaction it receives.

Question #2
A screw gauge has a pitch of 1 mm and 100 divisions on its circular scale. The least count of this instrument is:
A. 0.01 mm
B. 0.001 mm
C. 0.0001 mm
D. 0.1 mm

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Least count of screw gauge = Pitch / Number of circular scale divisions. Given pitch = 1 mm, divisions = 100, so LC = 1 mm / 100 = 0.01 mm. This represents the smallest measurement the instrument can accurately detect. Screw gauges measure small dimensions like wire diameter with high precision. Memory tip: Least count formula is universal for vernier and screw instruments: value per division on main scale divided by total circular divisions. This concept is frequently tested in practical physics sections of competitive exams.
