Two full turns of the circular scale of a screw gauge cover a distance of 1 mn on its its main scale . The total number of divisions on the circular scale is 50. Further m it is found that the screw gauge has a zero error of - 0.02 mm . While measuring the diameter of a thin wire , a student notes the main scale reading of 4 mm and the number of circular scale divisions in line with the main scale as 37. The diameter of the wire is

The pitch and the number of divisions, on the circular scale, for a given screw gauge are 0.5 mm and 100 respectively without any object, the zero of its circular scale lies 3 divisions below the mean line. The readings of the main scale and the circular scale, for a thin sheet, are 5.5 mm and 48 respectively, the thickness of this sheet is :

The pitch of a screw gauge is 0.5 mm and the number of division on the circular scale is 100. When a glass plate is held between the studs of the screw gauge , the main scale reads 1.5 mm and the 69th division of the circular scale coincides with the index line of the main scale . What is the thickness of the glass plate ?

A vernier calipers and a screw gauge have the same least count and zero error with the difference that the vernier calipers has positive zero error and the screw gauge has negative zero error. The number of circular scale divisions on the screw gauge is twice the number of vernier scale divisions on the vernier calipers and the pitch of the screw gauge is 1mm. If the vernier coinciding division and the circular are 3 and 97, respectively then find the number of vernier scale divisions on the vernier calipers.

Answer the following : (a) You are given a tread and a metre scale. How will you estimate the diameter of the thread ? (b) A screw gauge has a pitch of 1.0 mm and 200 divisions on the circular scale. Do you think it is possible to increase the accuracy of the screw gauge arbitratily by increasing the number of divisions on the circular scale ? (c) The mean diameter of a thin brass rod is to be measured by vernier callipers. Why is a set of 100 measurements of the diameter expected to yield a more reliable estimate than a set of 5 measurement only ?
