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
    $8.36$
  • B
    $8.54$
  • C
    $8.58$
  • D
    $8.56$

There are $100$ divisions on the circular scale of a screw gauge of pitch $1 \,mm$. With no measuring quantity in between the jaws,the zero of the circular scale lies $5$ divisions below the reference line. The diameter of a wire is then measured using this screw gauge. It is found that $4$ linear scale divisions are clearly visible while $60$ divisions on the circular scale coincide with the reference line. The diameter of the wire is: (in $\,mm$)

In a screw gauge,the fifth division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line when the ratchet is closed. There are $50$ divisions on the circular scale,and the main scale moves by $0.5 \, mm$ on a complete rotation. For a particular observation,the reading on the main scale is $5 \, mm$ and the $20^{th}$ division of the circular scale coincides with the reference line. Calculate the true reading in $mm$.

The one division of main scale of vernier callipers reads $1\,mm$ and $10$ divisions of Vernier scale is equal to the $9$ divisions on main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other the $zero$ of the Vernier lies to the right of $zero$ of the main scale and its fourth division coincides with a main scale division. When a spherical bob is tightly placed between the two jaws,the $zero$ of the Vernier scale lies in between $4.1\,cm$ and $4.2\,cm$ and $6^{\text{th}}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob will be $.............10^{-2}\,cm$

One main scale division of a Vernier calliper is equal to $1 \text{ mm}$ and the number of divisions on the Vernier scale is $10$. When both the jaws touch each other, the Vernier scale shifts to the left of zero of the main scale in such a way that $4^{th}$ Vernier division coincides with a division of the main scale. If the Vernier calliper measures the length of a wire to be $1 \text{ cm}$, the actual length of the wire is : (in $\text{ cm}$)

$A$ screw gauge gives the following readings when used to measure the diameter of a wire:
Main scale reading: $0 \, mm$
Circular scale reading: $52$ divisions
Given that $1 \, mm$ on the main scale corresponds to $100$ divisions on the circular scale. The diameter of the wire from the above data is ...... $cm$.
