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

A

0.026 cm

B

0.005 cm

C

0.52 cm

D

0.052 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Least count `= (1 "mm")/(100)=0.01 mm`
Diamter of the wire `= 0 + 52 xx 0.01 mm = 0.52 mm = 0.052 cm`

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

A screw gauge gives the following reading when used to mesure the diametre of a wire. Main scale reading : 0mm Circular scale reading : 52 divisions Given that 1mm on main scale corresponds to 100 divisions of the circular scale. the diameter of wire from the above data is :

A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism. Main scale reading =58.5 degree Vernier scale reading =0.9 divisions Given that 1 divisions on main scale corresponds to 0.5 degree. Total divisions on the vernier scale is 30 and match with 29 divisions of the main scale. the angle of the prism from the above data is :

A spectrometer gives the following reading when used to measure the angle of a prism. Main scale reading : 58.5 degree Vernier scale reading : 09 divisions Given that 1 division on main scale correspods to 0.5 degree. Total divisions on the vernier scale is 30 and match with 29 divisions of the main scale. the angle of the prism from the above data:

The pitch of a screw gauge is 1mm and its cap is divided into 100 divisions. When this screw gauge is used to measure the diameter of a wire, then main scale reading is 2 mm and 58^(th) division of circular scale coincides with the main scale. There is no zero error in the screw gage. Then the diameter of the wire is

A screw gauge with a pitch of 1 mm has 100 divisions on its circular scale. What it is used to measure the diameter of a thin wire, the main scale reading is 3 mm and the circular scale reading is 45. If D is the diameter of the wire in mm, then find the value of D.

In a screw guage the graduation in the circular scale consists of 100 equal divisions and 10 complete rotation of athe cap is equivalent to 5mm on the main scale . While measuring diameter of a wire with screw gauge a particular observation gives initial circular cap reading as 57 and after completing 3 complete rotation the final circular cap reading as 63 . it is observed that while proceeding from initial reading to final reading the cap reading increases. calculate the diameter of the wire from the above data.
