The diagrams show readings of a screw gauge. Figure $(i)$ shows the zero error reading when the screw gauge is closed,and figure $(ii)$ shows the reading when the screw gauge is being used to measure the diameter of a ball-bearing. What is the diameter of the ball-bearing in $mm$? There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale.

  • A
    $5.29$
  • B
    $5.26$
  • C
    $5.32$
  • D
    $5.28$

When both jaws of vernier callipers touch each other, the zero mark of the vernier scale is to the right of the zero mark of the main scale, and the $4^{\text{th}}$ mark on the vernier scale coincides with a certain mark on the main scale. While measuring the length of a cylinder, the observer observes $15$ divisions on the main scale and the $5^{\text{th}}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The measured length of the cylinder is . . . . . . $mm$. (Least count of Vernier calliper $= 0.1 \ mm$)

Using a screw gauge with a pitch of $0.1 \ cm$ and $50$ divisions on its circular scale,the thickness of an object is measured. How should the measurement be correctly recorded (in $cm$)?

$A$ Vernier calipers has $1 \,mm$ marks on the main scale. It has $20$ equal divisions on the Vernier scale which match with $16$ main scale divisions. For this Vernier calipers, the least count is (in $\,mm$)

In a vernier callipers,each $cm$ on the main scale is divided into $20$ equal parts. If the $10^{th}$ vernier scale division coincides with the $9^{th}$ main scale division,then the value of the vernier constant will be $\dots \; \times 10^{-2} \; mm$.
