$A$ screw gauge has $50$ divisions on its circular scale. The circular scale is $4$ units ahead of the pitch scale marking,prior to use. Upon one complete rotation of the circular scale,a displacement of $0.5\, mm$ is noticed on the pitch scale. The nature of zero error involved,and the least count of the screw gauge,are respectively

  • A
    Negative,$2\, \mu m$
  • B
    Positive,$10\, \mu m$
  • C
    Positive,$0.1\, \mu m$
  • D
    Positive,$0.1\, mm$

There are two Vernier calipers,both of which have $1 \ cm$ divided into $10$ equal divisions on the main scale. The Vernier scale of one of the calipers $(C_1)$ has $10$ equal divisions that correspond to $9$ main scale divisions. The Vernier scale of the other caliper $(C_2)$ has $10$ equal divisions that correspond to $11$ main scale divisions. The readings of the two calipers are shown in the figure. The measured values (in $cm$) by calipers $C_1$ and $C_2$,respectively,are

Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of $1 \ mm$ on its main scale. The total number of divisions on the circular scale is $50$. The screw gauge has a zero error of $-0.03 \ mm$. While measuring the diameter of a thin wire,a student notes the main scale reading of $3 \ mm$ and the $35^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line of the main scale. The diameter of the wire is: (in $mm$)

The least count of the main scale of a vernier callipers is $1\, mm$. Its vernier scale is divided into $10$ divisions and coincides with $9$ divisions of the main scale. When jaws are touching each other,the $7^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a division of the main scale and the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right side of the zero of the main scale. When this vernier is used to measure the length of a cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale is between $3.1\, cm$ and $3.2\, cm$ and the $4^{th}$ $VSD$ coincides with a main scale division. The length of the cylinder is $.....\, cm$. ($VSD$ is vernier scale division)

One main scale division of a vernier caliper is equal to $m$ units. If $n^{\text{th}}$ division of the main scale coincides with $(n+1)^{\text{th}}$ division of the vernier scale,the least count of the vernier caliper is:
