In a screw gauge, there are $100$ divisions on the circular scale and the main scale moves by $0.5\,mm$ on a complete rotation of the circular scale. The zero of the circular scale lies $6$ divisions below the reference line when two studs are brought in contact with each other. When a wire is placed between the studs, $4$ main scale divisions are clearly visible while the $46^{\text{th}}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is $...........\times 10^{-2}\,mm$.

The vernier scale used for measurement has a positive zero error of $0.2\, mm$. If while taking a measurement it was noted that the '$0$' on the vernier scale lies between $8.5\, cm$ and $8.6\, cm$ and the vernier coincidence is $6$,then the correct value of measurement is ............. $cm$. (Least count $= 0.01\, cm$)

$A$ screw gauge has some zero error but its value is unknown. We have two identical rods. When the first rod is inserted in the screw gauge,the state of the instrument is shown by diagram $(I)$. When both the rods are inserted together in series,the state is shown by diagram $(II)$. What is the zero error of the instrument in $mm$? Given: $1 \, M.S.D. = 100 \, C.S.D. = 1 \, mm$.

The least count of a vernier caliper is $\frac{1}{20N} \text{ cm}$. The value of one division on the main scale is $1 \text{ mm}$. Then the number of divisions of the main scale that coincide with $N$ divisions of the vernier scale is:

$A$ vernier callipers used by a student has $20$ divisions in $1\;cm$ on the main scale. $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. When the jaws are closed,the zero of the main scale is to the left of the zero of the vernier scale,and the $6^{th}$ division of the vernier scale coincides with a main scale division. The student places a wooden cylinder between the jaws to measure its length. The zero of the vernier scale is to the right of the $3.20\;cm$ mark,and the $8^{th}$ vernier division coincides with a main scale division. When measuring the thickness (diameter) of the cylinder,the zero of the vernier scale lies to the right of the $1.50\;cm$ mark,and the $6^{th}$ vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The correct values of the measured length and diameter are respectively:
