$A$ screw gauge has a pitch of $1.5\; mm$ and there is no zero error. The linear scale has markings at $MSD = 1\; mm$ and there are $100$ equal divisions on the circular scale. When the diameter of a sphere is measured with this instrument,the $2\; mm$ mark is visible on the linear scale,but the $3\; mm$ mark is not visible. The $76^{th}$ division of the circular scale is in line with the linear scale. What is the diameter of the sphere in $mm$?

  • A
    $2.64$
  • B
    $3.14$
  • C
    $1.14$
  • D
    $2.76$

The circular divisions of a screw gauge are $50$. It moves $0.5 \ mm$ on the main scale in one rotation. When the diameter of a wire is measured,the main scale reading is $3.5 \ mm$ and the circular scale reading is $32$. If the zero error (positive) in the screw gauge is $0.06 \ mm$,then the diameter of the wire is:

In an experiment to find out the diameter of a wire using a screw gauge,the following observations were noted:
$(a)$ The screw moves $0.5\,mm$ on the main scale in one complete rotation.
$(b)$ Total divisions on the circular scale $= 50$.
$(c)$ Main scale reading is $2.5\,mm$.
$(d)$ The $45^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale is on the pitch line.
$(e)$ The instrument has a $0.03\,mm$ negative zero error.
Then the diameter of the wire is $...........\,mm$.

In a vernier callipers, $50$ vernier scale divisions are equal to $48$ main scale divisions. If one main scale division $= 0.05 \ mm$, then the least count of the vernier callipers is . . . . . . $mm$.

In a screw gauge, the zero of the main scale reference line coincides with the fifth division of the circular scale when two studs are in contact. There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the pitch of the screw gauge is $0.1 \text{ mm}$. When the diameter of a sphere is measured, the reading of the main scale is $5 \text{ mm}$ and the $50^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line of the main scale. The diameter of the sphere is . . . . . . $\text{mm}$.
