  • A
    $A$ vernier calliper where the $10$ divisions in vernier scale matches with $9$ divisions in main scale and main scale has $10$ divisions in $1\;cm$.
  • B
    $A$ screw gauge having $100$ divisions in the circular scale and pitch as $1\;mm$.
  • C
    $A$ screw gauge having $50$ divisions in the circular scale and pitch as $1\;mm$.
  • D

The diameter of a cylinder is measured using a vernier callipers with no zero error. It is found that the zero of the vernier scale lies between $5.10 \ cm$ and $5.15 \ cm$ of the main scale. The vernier scale has $50$ divisions equivalent to $2.45 \ cm$. The $24^{\text{th}}$ division of the vernier scale exactly coincides with one of the main scale divisions. The diameter of the cylinder is: (in $cm$)

Diameter of a steel ball is measured using a Vernier callipers which has divisions of $0.1\,cm$ on its main scale $(MS)$ and $10$ divisions of its vernier scale $(VS)$ match $9$ divisions on the main scale. Three such measurements for a ball are given as:
$S$.No. $MS\;(cm)$ $VS$ divisions
$(1)$ $0.5$ $8$
$(2)$ $0.5$ $4$
$(3)$ $0.5$ $6$

If the zero error is $-0.03\,cm,$ then the mean corrected diameter is ........... $cm$.

The diameter of a spherical bob is measured using a vernier callipers. $9$ divisions of the main scale,in the vernier callipers,are equal to $10$ divisions of vernier scale. One main scale division is $1\, {mm}$. The main scale reading is $10\, {mm}$ and $8^{\text{th}}$ division of vernier scale was found to coincide exactly with one of the main scale division. If the given vernier callipers has positive zero error of $0.04\, {cm}$,then the radius of the bob is $...... \,\times 10^{-2} \,{cm}$.

In an experiment with Vernier callipers of least count $0.1\,mm$,when two jaws are joined together,the zero of the Vernier scale lies to the right of the zero of the main scale and the $6^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. While measuring the diameter of a spherical bob,the zero of the Vernier scale lies between $3.2\,cm$ and $3.3\,cm$ marks,and the $4^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob is measured as $.......\,cm$.

$A$ 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 $mm$?
