In an experiment,the angles are required to be measured using an instrument where $29$ divisions of the main scale exactly coincide with $30$ divisions of the vernier scale. If the smallest division of the main scale is half a degree $(= 0.5^\circ)$,then the least count of the instrument is:

  • A
    $1^\circ$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}^\circ$
  • C
    $1'$
  • D
    $(\frac{1}{2})'$

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 $\dots \; \times 10^{-2} \; mm$.

In a screw gauge,$5$ complete rotations of the screw cause it to move a linear distance of $0.25\, cm$. There are $100$ circular scale divisions. The thickness of a wire measured by this screw gauge gives a reading of $4$ main scale divisions and $30$ circular scale divisions. Assuming negligible zero error,the thickness of the wire is (in $, cm$)
